Hi Stacey,

It's fromage frais for the toping and then sprinkle a little cheese on top of that before baking...

113g/4oz button mushrooms, quartered
2 large onions, chopped
142ml/¼pt passata
salt & ground black pepper
113g/4oz courgettes, sliced
113g/4oz aubergines, sliced
½ red pepper, deseeded & sliced
½ yellow pepper, deseeded & sliced
113g/4oz whole baby sweetcorn
2 x 400g/14oz cans chopped tomatoes
½ tsp artificial sweetener
12 dried lasagne sheets
511g/1lb 2oz very low fat natural fromage frais
28g/1oz reduced fat cheddar cheese, grated

​

1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/Gas Mark 5. Dry fry the mushrooms and one of the onions in a large heavy-based saucepan. Add the passata and season to taste. Stir in the courgettes, aunergines, peppers and sweetcorn and simmer for 20 minutes.
2. In a second saucepan place the remaining onion, tomatoes and sweetener and season to taste. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Spoon 4-5 tablespoons of the tomato mixture into a lasagne dish. Add 3 sheets of lasagne and then a layer of the vegetables. Continue layering this way finally pouring the fromage frais on top, Sprinkle with the cheese and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. Serve with a huge mixed salad.

i melt an 'a' choice of extra light laughin cow over a low heat and add water to make it runnier. i use another 'a' choice, or 'b' choice of grated cheese when food is nearly cooked.

i can't do the quark/yogurt fake cheese sauce - no matter what i do to it all i can taste is the sourness of the quark/yogurt and it puts me off. YUCK!!!

 

[Tinkerbell1987]

well i jus finished and it was lush!!!

quark jus tastes like philidelphia to me (sorry bout spellin)

am quite suprised how well it worked

xx

Yeah, I do quark / fromage frais / egg. If it isn't runny enough I thin it with milk and water.

If you find quark 'sour', try adding a teeny bit of sweetner to anything you are making with it ;-) (even savoury) Personally I find it just takes on the flavour of whatever it's being cooked with.

I made this tonight, the recipe from the current issue of SW magazine. The only thing I did different was add a bit of garlic powder to the quark mixture to make it a bit more savoury, and just a touch of chili to the spinach/tomato filling. I was surprised at just how tasty that was. Very nice indeed. I shall make that again for sure! I've separated it into four portions. One I had for tea, one will be my lunch tomorrow and two in the freezer for another time. Ace!

Dunno if this helps but Heinz low fat macaroni cheese is 6 syns for the whole tin on a green day. Liquidize it and put on top. Not too many syns each!

Mind you, years ago macaroni cheese was free on a green day! Dunno why it isnt now!

 

[gonnadoithistime]

What a good idea about mac cheese i must look out for the low fat one where sell it ? thanks x

 

[wannabeminime]
