Say this to the waiter (Hebrew)
למוסקה, להשתמש בקישואים במקום חצילים. ציפוי שמנת וגבינה בלבד, בלי קמח. להגביל כמות רסק עגבניות ובצל.
For the מוסקה, use zucchini, not eggplant. Creamy topping: heavy cream/cheese, no flour. Limit tomato paste/onion.
Watch out for
Tomato paste, onions, and garlic can add carbs. Ensure the béchamel is entirely flour-free and no sugar is added to the meat sauce.
