Welcome to a delightful culinary experience that perfectly captures the essence of autumn while adhering to your low-carb lifestyle. These Keto Pumpkin Lasagna Roll-Ups are more than just a meal; they’re a celebration of creamy textures, comforting flavors, and satisfying richness, all without the guilt of excess carbs. Designed to be both incredibly sweet and savory, these meatless wonders are substantial enough to serve as a fulfilling dinner, bringing the cozy warmth of fall right to your plate.
Discover the Delight of Keto Lasagna Roll-Ups
Embrace the convenience and incredible flavor of these easy-to-make lasagna roll-ups, an ideal choice for a comforting fall lunch or a hearty weeknight dinner. This innovative recipe draws inspiration from popular low-carb favorites like our Keto Sausage Lasagna Roll-Ups and classic Keto Lasagna Roll-Ups, which traditionally use melted cheese wraps. However, for this autumn-inspired version, we’ve elevated the experience by utilizing a truly game-changing low-carb pasta alternative: Palmini lasagna noodles.
By opting for Palmini, we transform these into a dish that offers a more authentic pasta-like texture, meant to be savored with a fork rather than enjoyed as finger food. Gone are the heavy, carb-laden traditional noodles, replaced by a light yet firm substitute that seamlessly integrates into your ketogenic diet. Instead of a meat-based sauce, this recipe features a delightful vegetarian combination of creamy pumpkin and a medley of cheeses, creating a rich and flavorful experience that’s both unique and incredibly satisfying.
Each serving of these pumpkin lasagna roll-ups boasts a mere 6 grams of net carbs, making them an excellent choice for anyone committed to maintaining ketosis without sacrificing flavor or satisfaction. Crafted with a generous amount of various cheeses and wholesome dairy, this dish is inherently rich, decadent, and incredibly filling. It’s a perfect option when you crave a substantial meal that leaves you feeling comfortably satiated and utterly delighted.
Embracing the Flavor of Pumpkin in Low-Carb Lasagna
Maintaining a ketogenic diet doesn’t mean giving up your favorite comfort foods. In fact, one of the most effective strategies for long-term adherence to keto is intelligently recreating beloved recipes with low-carb ingredients. Before transitioning to keto, pasta dishes, especially hearty lasagnas, were a personal favorite. This passion is precisely why Stylish Cravings features an extensive collection of low-carb lasagna-inspired recipes, ensuring that you can always find a delicious alternative to satisfy your cravings.
This particular pumpkin lasagna offers a wonderfully sweet and savory, entirely meatless approach to enjoying a classic dinner staple. It’s an ingenious way to incorporate the seasonal delight of pumpkin into your diet, moving beyond traditional sweet desserts and into savory main courses. The natural sweetness of pumpkin puree balances beautifully with the savory cheeses and Italian seasoning, creating a harmonious flavor profile that is both unique and deeply comforting.
If you’re looking to boost your vegetable intake while still enjoying the essence of lasagna, consider exploring options like our Keto Lasagna Stuffed Peppers. For those who prefer a more robust, protein-packed meal, the Keto Lasagna Stuffed Sausage offers a fantastic alternative. And if you’re seeking something truly distinct and flavorful, our Keto Eggplant Lasagna provides a delightful variation that promises to keep your taste buds intrigued and satisfied. With such a diverse range of low-carb lasagna options, you’ll never tire of this beloved dish.
Effortless Keto Pumpkin Lasagna for Busy Evenings
One of the most appealing aspects of this easy Keto Pumpkin Lasagna Roll-Ups recipe is its incredible efficiency. You can have this delicious meal ready and on the table in just about half an hour, making it an absolute lifesaver on busy weeknights. The secret to this rapid preparation lies in the use of pre-cooked Palmini noodles. These innovative noodles are made from hearts of palm, offering a fantastic low-carb, gluten-free, and grain-free alternative to traditional pasta, without the need for extensive cooking beforehand.
The preparation couldn’t be simpler: begin by combining your savory cheese and spinach filling ingredients, then carefully scoop a portion onto each Palmini lasagna sheet. Roll them up neatly, arrange them in a baking dish, and bake until golden and bubbly. It’s an effortless culinary process that delivers maximum flavor with minimal fuss, perfect for those evenings when time is of the essence but you still crave a homemade, wholesome meal.
The addition of pumpkin puree naturally sweetens the entire recipe, allowing you to achieve a delectable balance of flavors without needing to add any artificial sweeteners. This natural sweetness is subtle yet effective, complementing the rich, creamy cheese filling beautifully. However, if your palate leans towards more savory profiles, consider trying our Low Carb TikTok Ramen Lasagna or the hearty Keto TikTok Protein Lasagna for equally satisfying, yet distinct, experiences. And for those nights when you desire something a bit lighter but equally comforting, our Creamy Keto Lasagna Soup is always a hit, offering all the flavors of lasagna in a warm, soothing bowl.
Perfect Pairings: What to Serve with Keto Pumpkin Lasagna Roll-Ups
Even though these meatless roll-ups feature the sweet and earthy notes of pumpkin puree, their versatile flavor profile allows them to pair beautifully with a wide array of your favorite Italian-inspired side dishes. Creating a well-rounded meal is easy when you have such a delightful main course. For a fresh and vibrant addition to your table, consider a crisp bowl of low-carb seven-layer salad. Its varied textures and tangy dressing provide a wonderful contrast to the creamy lasagna, adding lightness and a burst of fresh flavors.
For a high-protein, incredibly satisfying side that’s also fun to munch on, whip up a batch of low-carb million-dollar deviled eggs. These are not only a fantastic choice for a casual lunch but also a crowd-pleaser for any gathering. Their rich, creamy texture and savory notes complement the lasagna perfectly. And for the ultimate indulgence, especially with a creamy pasta dish like this, you simply must try making keto crack biscuits on the side. These fluffy, buttery biscuits are divine when dipped into the luscious pumpkin cheese sauce, adding another layer of comfort and flavor to your meal. The combination is truly heavenly and transforms a simple dinner into a memorable feast.
Smart Storage and Meal Prep Tips for Lasagna Roll-Ups
Preparing meals in advance is a cornerstone of successful keto eating, and these pumpkin lasagna roll-ups are an excellent candidate for your weekly meal prep rotation. To ensure maximum freshness and flavor, store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will remain delicious for up to three days, making them perfect for grabbing a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner throughout the week.
One of the many advantages of this recipe is how wonderfully it reheats. Whether you’re at home or in the office, a quick zap in the microwave is all it takes to bring these roll-ups back to their creamy, comforting glory. The flavors tend to meld even further after a day or two, often tasting even better as leftovers.
While these roll-ups are fantastic for refrigerated meal prep, we generally recommend enjoying them fresh rather than attempting to freeze them. The delicate texture of the Palmini noodles and the creamy cheese filling can sometimes be compromised during the freezing and thawing process, potentially leading to a slightly watery or grainy consistency. Given how simple and quick this recipe is to prepare from scratch, making a fresh batch ensures you get the best possible flavor and texture every time. Enjoy the convenience without sacrificing the quality!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6
Net Carbs: 6 net carbs per serving
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Butter (divided)
- 3 cups Fresh Spinach
- 1 package Palmini Lasagna Sheets
- 1/2 Onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 1/3 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté them until they become soft and translucent, typically about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and continue to sauté until it has completely wilted down, which usually takes another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the sautéed spinach and onion mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined, forming a cohesive filling.
- Lay the Palmini lasagna sheets flat on a clean surface. Place a small, even scoop of the prepared filling at one end of each sheet. Carefully roll each sheet up tightly around the filling to form individual roll-ups.
- Arrange the finished roll-ups seam-side down in a well-greased baking dish to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
- In a separate pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Pour the pumpkin puree and heavy whipping cream into the pot with the melted butter. Stir continuously until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Add the pinch of nutmeg and season the sauce with salt and pepper to your preference. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken slightly.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully incorporated and melted into the sauce, creating a rich, creamy topping.
- Generously spread the pumpkin cheese sauce evenly over all the arranged lasagna roll-ups in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the roll-ups are heated through and lightly golden. Serve hot and enjoy!
