Low Carb Pumpkin Lasagne

I'm always looking for meals to feed the family that are easy to make, delicious and of course low carb. This worked well, took a little longer than expected to fully cook the pumpkin.
Bonus was enough left over for lunch the next day.

I started with the usual Bol sauce with lots of garlic, herbs and tomatoes.

It was nice and thick, I was thinking (correctly) 

that it would make a better lasagne layer.

A little sauce then layer of thinly peeled and sliced

pumpkin.

Now for the cheese layer...

200gms Ricotta

75gms Mozzarella 

2 eggs

enough whipping cream to make sauce. 

You know what to do now...

layer upon layer

I did 3.

Top with more grated Mozzarella 

and I added some finely grated Parmesan.

Now bake covered with foil for about an hour

uncover, bake a further 10 mins until golden.

Low Carbing

It all started with going to Coles to buy peanut butter as I'd run out of the sugar free variety and while browsing, saw this and thought, yes lets try it.

I have been playing with the low carb lifestyle for three to four year now and often find having snack food on hand can be difficult.
Well, nutty butter is great, but I did need something to have it with...I could eat it straight from jar!
I needed crackers so Googled recipes and came up with a few that looked great. These are made from ingredients that I had in my pantry and are a bit of a compilation of those I found online.

My Crackers     Made 10

75 grams LSA meal (Linseed, Sunflower & Almond)
25 grams Coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 tbsp whipping cream

It was a fairly thick and sticky mixture

I rolled it into balls with wet hands

I flattened the balls using the base of a wet glass

and baked them at 180' for 15 minutes

Next time I make these I'll make them smaller, thinner and

try leaving the baking powder out completely. 

I'd probably cook them for longer too, so they would be more

"Cracker Like" and less cakey

Final verdict...delicious

and the best thing was that just 1 was really satisfying.
