Thread: Syn free lasagne on EE (using hex A)

This lasagne is really nice and even if you don't like quark, you should still like it!
Makes 6 generous portions

Ingredients

400g extra lean beef mince
2 onions
frozen sliced peppers (or fresh)
fresh garlic
mixed herbs
carton of passata
lasagne sheets

252g grated low fat mature cheddar
2 tubs quark
1 egg
skimmed milk
dried parsley
english mustard


Chop onions and fry in frylight along with the frozen sliced peppers. Once cooked transfer to a large saucepan or wok.
Fry the mince beef until brown and add to the saucepan.
Add the passata, mixed herbs, 3 crushed garlic cloves and salt/pepper to taste. Leave to simmer, stirring occasionally.

Empty 2 tubs of quark in to a seperate saucepan and add one egg. Heat gently while mixing together. Add a dash of skimmed milk if the white sauce is too thick. (the amount needed won't even average out to half a syn per portion). Mix in some dried parsley and quarter tsp of mustard.

Using a lasagne type dish, place half of meat mixture in bottom, top with lasagne sheets, add half of the white sauce and the remainder of the meat mixture.
Add a further layer of lasagne sheets, top with the remaining white sauce and then add the grated cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in oven gas mark 6 for 30-35mins.

I bought the ingredients today can't wait to make n eat it tmw xxx

Can you use any type of lasagne sheets?

I bought fresh coz they were only a pound n I don't think it will matter it might change the cooking time tho xxx

That's good, I might try it. I love lasagne

I made this on Monday - was amazing! brilliant recipe!!

I've attached a couple of photo's. :-)
edit - not fresh pasta......

fresh pasta is syned

Not on the extra easy...
It is amazing, I've had it twice now, even made it for non slimming world friends n they loved it x

fresh pasta is syned on all plan because it is coated in oil only dried free

Oh yh just re read it n it says dried, all varieties I just presumed that meant all pasta lol... Oh well that prob why I put on I stead lost

Only dried pasta/lasagne sheets are free.
Fresh pasta contains oil to keep it moist so you would have to syn it!

Pasta, fresh, plain, all types, 28g boiled 0.5 Syns on EE & Green & 2.5 syns on Red!

Thanks... Fresh pasta bad, dry pasta good!!

same thing happened to me was using fresh and not dried didnt realise until it was to late, but asked about rice pouches as opposed to ordinary just as well i asked they syned too

I thought dried pasta was free on EE..that's what it says in my pack..has it changed? And if it has..why? It's still the same dried pasta right??
