Top with a layer of sauce, then ¼ cup Parmesan grated, ½ cup Mozzarella shredded. Next add the second layer of low carb wraps, the remainder of the ground meat, the remainder of the ricotta egg mixture, another layer of sauce, ¼ Parmesan grated, and ½ cup shredded mozzarella. Top with the last layer of low carb wraps, a layer of sauce, then the remaining ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
- You can pause here, cover it, and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. If you are making it in advance, take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before you plan to put it in the oven.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 50 - 55 minutes. Ovens can vary, so if you had it in the fridge, double check the center to make sure it is cooked through.
- Serve warm.
