I'd love a low syn lasagne recipe too! someone at my group last week said they'd done one topped with partly cottage cheese and partly low fat normal cheese, and that they'd served this to guests and no one guessed it was a SW recipe. I don't know though, I'm skeptical, that cottage cheesey texture would be a giveaway surely?

I use the sw recipe using 1 large tub of natural yogurt, 3 beaten eggs and nutmeg as my cheese sauce and then 90 g of reduced fat chees grated on top (works out then as free + 1/2 hea or 3 syns per portion if it is 4 portions)
My husband hates yogurt and i never thought i would get this by him but he loves it (he doesn't know it is made with yogurt !!)

I did one last weekend and used a mixture of quark and 100 mls of bisto cheese granules made up as directed (4.5syns for 100 mls) and topped with HE grated cheese (40 x 2) on top. It was bob on lovely. OK not saucy, but more that acceptable

I just tend to use passata instead of proper sauce, extra lean mince and my allowance of parmesan cheese mixed with a tiny bit of mozzarella through it rather than any cheese sauce. I also put tonnes of onions and mushrooms in to ensure my third superfree (as I don't tend to have side dishes with lasagne, just the lasagne itself)
Measured carefully taking my HeA allowance into account it works out as syn free. It's not as good as a proper lasagne but I find it hits the spot when I'm craving it.
Though tbh if I wanted something decent and SW friendly I'd get a ready made Sainsburys one and use my syns for it! (saves faffing about cooking) I recall seeing one somewhere on syns online for just 4 syns!

I love SW lasagne made with low fat cottage cheese. I've found that the cottage cheese loses its texture completely. Even when I wasn't doing SW, I still always chose to make lasagne with cottage cheese, rather than with normal white sauce.
Simon Rimmer from BBC's Saturday Kitchen claims that using cottage cheese is his grandmother's secret recipe. I think his grandmother went to Slimming World and then passed it off as her own: BBC - Food - Recipes : Simon Rimmer's lasagne

Also, if you were following a red day you could always do what the hairy bikers did and use leeks instead of the lasagne sheets. I'm going to try this at home tonight I think
Sliced courgette in place of lasagne sheets is lovely too
