Cut calories with a healthier lasagne

Lasagne is a long-time traditional winter comfort food. Unfortunately for us, it's not the healthiest of meals.

But, there are ways to make it healthier.

Make a lighter lasagne

Here are a few tricks to making a lighter lasagne – without sacrificing on flavour...

1. Use lean mince, chicken sausage.

2. Replace meat altogether and use lentils, mashed beans or chickpeas instead for a veggie option.

3. Cut down the amount of cheese used by half.

4. Replace full-fat cheese with low-fat cheese.

5. Pay attention to portion sizes – even if you cut down cheese or replace regular mince.

6. Serve smaller portions with a large salad and lots of green vegetables on the side.
