Make a loaf of Magic protein low-carb bread – and dip it into the zesty tomato sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild, unless you prefer it spicy!)
• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ small onion, diced
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 15oz. jar Alfredo sauce (choose the lowest carb option)
• 1 15oz. can petite diced tomatoes
• 1 15oz. can tomato sauce
• 16 oz. ricotta cheese
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp. Salt
• 14-16oz. sliced mozzarella cheese, sliced thin (from deli)
• 9-10oz. thinly sliced chicken breast (from deli)

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook sausage, ground beef, onion and garlic, stirring frequently until browned.  Spoon out a little of the fat, if necessary, but keeping some fat is okay.

STEP 2: Add Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce to meat mixture and mix until well blended.  Remove from heat and set aside.

STEP 3: Whisk egg in a medium bowl; add ricotta and salt, then mix until well blended.  Set aside.

STEP 4: To assemble lasagna, first spread ⅓ of meat mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.  Next, spread a layer of ½ of the chicken breast slices over the meat sauce, followed by a layer of ½ of the ricotta cheese mixture, followed by ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese slices.  Repeat layers–⅓ meat mixture, ½ of the chicken breast slices, ricotta cheese mixture, ⅓ mozzarella slices.  Add remaining meat mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and top with remaining mozzarella cheese slices.

STEP 5: Cover with foil, being careful to make sure that the foil does not touch the cheese.  Bake for 25-30 minutes.  Remove foil and bake an additional 20-30 minutes, until cheese is is brown and bubbly.

STEP 6: Let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving, or, for easier cutting & serving, let cool then refrigerate overnight and cut into slices before reheating.
