Made the lasagne this evening. I will be giving it another go with further modifications. Usually if a recipe doesn't meet my exacting (!) standards I won't bother with it again but I will in this instance because 1. Good sized portion for the kcals 2. perfect consistancy and preportions 3. such low cals for a lasagne. The big failing for our taste was that it was very bland. The alterations I made to it was extra spinach, quorn mince & Old Winchester cheese. In mark two I intend to add Yorkshire & Dark Soy Sauce to the mince mixture and less water (half a can?) it needs to be richer and more flavoursome to combat the blandness of the white sauce (not unpleasantly creamy) and don't want to increase the calories by adding more Old Winchester. Will revisit at a later date and post my comment.
