    I actually thought this was quite a nice and tastey change, but my husband and kids though it was bland and said they preferred traditional lasagne. Interesting to see what others think!

    The spinach and fresh tomatoes are very nice in this. I used normal bechamel sauce instead of the milk/cornflower mixture, which I think was a good decision. Also used slightly more spinach and parmesan, and added an extra layer of lasagne sheets.

    I kept to the original recipe (although adapted it for just 2) and loved the final result - really tasty. I found it had less of a tomato flavour than how I usually cook lasagne and I really liked it. I agree the spinach and tomato work well. I also preferred the lighter white sauce in this recipe to the usual bechamel sauce which I find sometimes takes over.

    I made this to the recipe exactly sand it was absolutely delicious. Such a nice alternative for a normally highly calorific meal! I found the mince mixture held a lot of liquid so i would suggest either omitting the can of water/ halving the amount/ draining before dishing up. The amount of liquid stopped me from being able to use all the white sauce, but it was still delicious. The fresh toms and spinach were a really nice touch.

    For a healthier version I use cottage cheese instead of the bechamel [white sauce] still get the nice cheesy flavour without the calories- yum

    Really tasty! I didn't use the tin of water, would have made it too thin, I also added a beef stock cube for a bit more flavour and a good sprinkling of pepper.

    This was a nice easy recipe that tasted good even though the calories were low for a lasagne.

    The filling tastes fine, but I was disappointed with the sauce topping which was very bland. If I made it again I'd try out Jenni's cottage cheese suggestion or just go for a normal bechamel.

    Very good indeed. I made this with gluten-free lasagne and it was excellent. It didn't freeze all too well with the GF lasagne - the lasagne sheets fell apart on thawing - but that isn't the recipe's fault!
