Lasagne from scratch in less than an hour? Yes really! This Sausage Lasagne is a cheat’s recipe, and it’s so yummy that it’ll quickly become your new go-to midweek dinner.
Minimal effort and maximum flavour, we don’t know why we didn’t try it sooner! Delicious pork sausages are sandwiched between layers of pasta and topped with gooey cheese.
This recipe is such a crowd pleaser and so versatile too. You can use any sausages you like, including veggie bangers.
To keep the prep time and the calories down, we’ve used low fat cream cheese instead of the usual lasagne white sauce. If you’d prefer, you can use a traditional white sauce, just remember to adjust the calories accordingly.
Serve with a fresh green salad for an easy dinner that the whole family will love.
What diets is this Sausage Lasagne suitable for?
You can make this Sausage Lasagne suitable for vegetarians if you switch to vegetarian sausages and replace the meat stock cube with a vegetable stock cube.
As always, take extra care when cooking for people with allergies and be sure to use different utensils, cookware and preparation areas.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Sausage Lasagne?
We’ve used a pork stock cube to make this Sausage Lasagne. They’re a little less common than other types of meat stock cube but worth getting your hands on for the flavour.
You should be able to pick up pork stock cubes in your usual supermarket but If you can’t find any, a chicken stock cube will also work well.

This Sausage Lasagne is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet, and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Step 2
Spray a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, peppers and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 3
Push the onions and peppers to the outside edge of the pan and add the sausages. Cook for 5 minutes until the outsides are browned.
Step 4
Add the tomatoes, stock cube, balsamic, Henderson’s Relish, oregano and sage and mix well. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add half the sauce from the mixture to the bottom of a roasting dish and spread it out. Lay 3 of the lasagne sheets on top.
Step 6
Lay the sausages and the rest of the sauce on top. Place the other 3 lasagne sheets on top.
Step 7
Spread the cream cheese on top of the lasagne sheets. Sprinkle over the mustard powder and the cheese and loosely cover the top with foil.
Step 8
Place into the oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes for extra colour on the top. The lasagne will be ready when you can push a knife into it and feel that the pasta is soft and not crunchy.
