I love lasagne. It was the one craving that I had when I was pregnant! My old lasagne would have had a traditional white sauce made from (lots of) butter, flour and milk. I was trying to think of a white sauce that would still taste lovely but be a bit healthier and when I was scouring the shelves in Sainsburys I noticed that Philadelphia was half price so thought I’d give that a go. I was really pleased with the results, and actually I think I preferred it to my old version of lasagne!
[update 2019] Unfortunately Slimming World took Philadelphia off the Healthy Extra A list at the beginning of this year (2019), so I tried Primula as an alternative and was really happy with the results. I had never bought Primula until I worked with them at Christmas to create this
Smoky chicken jalapeño macaroni cheesePrimula has now become a fridge staple for me! On Slimming World 60g of Primula Original is one healthy extra A (so the 150g in this is 2.5 HEAs). I love how versatile it is- I spread it in wraps with Marmite for my daughter’s packed lunches, and I always use it to make easy mac’n’cheese! My husband laughs at my ‘Spagagne’ speciality- it’s spaghetti bolognese, with Primula squeezed over the top and then cheddar sprinkled on and melted over the top- really delicious!
This update also bears in mind Slimming World’s 2019 update to allow 2 healthy extra A portions per day, so this is really a lovely, cheesy lasagne that will not feel like a compromise at all- it may be Slimming World friendly, but it tastes as good as any lasagne you’ll have anywhere!
Hello! How many lasagne sheets?
It depends on the size and shape of the dish you are using- the one I usually use will fit about 2.5 sheets per layer.
This really is delicious. Thank you
