Lasagne


Lasagne brings home thoughts of layers of pasta and cheese in a creamy sauce with lashings of meat and dressing… all those calories! See how our panel got on with seven different brands, some full fat and some low calorie. Remember, our panel do not know up-front whose brand they are tasting. 


Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

Lasagne, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

Looked good and tasted good! You were obviously eating 'lasagne'. Good portions and loads of layers. Our panel were surprised when shown this dish was a low-fat option. We have seen that some of the low-fat dishes can be watery and lacking in flavour in comparison to full-fat options, which can make you feel 'deprived'. However this dish unanimously held its own with all brands.

Weight Watchers, Heinz*

Beef Lasagne, Weight Watchers from Heinz*

The portion size (300g) for a main meal was deemed poor - definitely not enough for an adult's main meal. However, for flavour and taste all the panel thought it was excellent and not an obvious low-fat dish. Good mixture of textures and tastes.

Lasagne, Bird's Eye*

A spicy taste to this lasagne which was positively received. Good colour. Adequate portions, loads of tomatoes and one of the better dishes tasted.

A thick and creamy almost heavy topping. A good colour. In comparison with the other dishes lacking in taste and flavour.

Lasagne, Healthy Eating, Tesco*

Poor colour and not a real flavoursome or tasty lasagne. A strong pasta taste above all else. Obvious amounts of vegetables.

Lasagne, Healthy Choice, Asda*

A bland appearance. Tasteless and runny and an obvious low-fat dish. The panel agreed it tasted like a bland cheese and tomato pasta dish.

Conclusion

We have found in the past that low fat options can be watery and lack flavour and taste. Our panel were pleasantly surprised to discover two which upheld their own — Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself and Weight Watchers — proving you can have your lasagne without consuming loads of unwanted calories!
