Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne | Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!

Can’t choose between a classic Spaghetti Bolognese or a comforting Lasagne? With this delicious Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne, you don’t need to!

We’ve used lean beef mince to keep the calories low, but you still get the rich, savoury sauce and the recognisable Italian flavours you expect. There’s no need to reach for the jar of sugary, ready-made tomato sauce anymore with this simple recipe made with wholesome ingredients and no hidden nasties.

When you’re grating cheese, we recommend trying a fine grater. It takes a little longer but you’ll be surprised just how much further it goes! It also melts quicker so it feels like you get way more gooey melty cheese on top of your Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne. You can use it for chocolate, fruit zests and pretty much anything you’d use a standard grater for, so we think it’s a worthwhile investment.

Serve this Italian showstopper with your favourite sides for a quick weeknight dinner that the whole family will love!

What diets is this Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne suitable for?

This Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne recipe can be made gluten free and vegetarian as long as you swap out the following ingredients for gluten free or vegetarian versions;

  • Lean beef mince

If you’re cooking for a gluten free diet, opt for Henderson’s Relish instead of standard Worcestershire sauce.

Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.

Do you need any special ingredients to make Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne?

Nope! Everything you need to make this delicious recipe is easily found in the supermarket. We’ve mentioned using Henderson’s Relish instead of Worcestershire sauce if you prefer: it’s a naturally gluten free alternative that you can find in the condiment aisle.

Can I freeze Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne?

Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;

  • Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
  • Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.

Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!

How do I reheat Spaghetti Bolognese Lasagne?

Is the cheddar reduced fat or normal for spaghetti bolognese lasagne?

    HollyTuesday 18th May 2021

I live on my own and find some of the recipes difficult to adapt .. any ideas

    HollyThursday 20th May 2021

    Hey Elaine, if you scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page there are a set of arrows next to serving size where you can alter the servings up or down. Rather than trying to scale it down to 1 serving you could try halving the servings for the recipe so in this case the original recipe serves 6 so scale it down to 3 and freeze the extra portions that way you will have a set of homemade ready meals ready to go and less cooking to do! Hope that helps.
