Slimming World / Lasagne
Home » COOK » Recipes »I’ve got a delicious Slimming World lasagne recipe for you today. I’m still going strong on my healthy eating plan, and looking forward to sharing more Slimming World friendly recipes with you over the course of the year. I lost weight this week (the Christmas regain) and this has put me in good stead for the coming week. I’m feeling upbeat and optimistic for the first time in a very long time!
If you’re following the Slimming World plan (and even if you’re not, the recipes are tasty!) you’re going to want to make sure you’re following my blog, or subscribed so that you don’t miss out!

Slimming World Lasagne
I tweaked the recipe from Slimming World to our personal taste – adding our favourite dried herbs (you could use 2 tsps dried mixed herbs if you prefer), and adding in some different vegetables too. I found that the lasagne sheets didn’t cook all the way through – I don’t know if it was our oven, or if we needed to cook the dish for longer than stated in the original recipe. When I make this again, I’m going to pre-cook the pasta first before layering everything together.
I’ve been making healthier toppings for dishes with yoghurt and eggs (like lasagne, and moussaka) for years. It’s not as creamy tasting as a “proper” topping would be, but with the melted cheese you get the satisfaction of a cheesy topping!
- Low calorie cooking spray
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 small courgette, cut into bite-sized cubes

- Meanwhile beat the eggs into the yoghurt until smooth. Season well.

I find the same problem with my pasta sheets (they don’t cook all the way through) so I tend to do my lasagne in the slow cooker, it’s so yummy and everything is so soft

I’ve never made lasagne in the slow cooker before, but I think I’ll give it a try – I do love using the slow cooker!
