Nutritional benefits
By replacing some of the meat and the rich béchamel with vegetables and a butter-free white sauce, this lasagne stays indulgent but is lighter and high in fibre. The vegetables provide vitamins and antioxidants, and the cheese provides calcium. A comforting and balanced family dish.
Variations and substitutions
- With spinach and ricotta, or with lentils (plant protein).
- Higher in protein: add chicken or lean beef.
- Gluten-free: use gluten-free lasagne sheets.
- Plant-based white sauce (soya milk).
Storage and making ahead
Best reheated. Keeps for 3 days and freezes well: an excellent batch cooking dish.
