Sauté vegetables: Lightly brown onions, carrots, and bell peppers in sunflower oil.

Add meat & sauce: Stir in ground beef, garlic, passata (sieved tomatoes, tomato paste and bouillon cubes . Simmer 10–15 minutes. Mix well.

Prepare béchamel: Blend cottage cheese with 2 eggs, herbs and water until smooth.

Layer lasagna:

  • Spread meat sauce on bottom of dish
  • Add lasagna sheets
  • Add another layer of the meat sauce
  • Add lasagna sheets
  • Pour high protein "béchamel" on top ( in case the béchamel sauce does not cover all the edges of the lasagna sheets top with a bit more passata (sieved tomatoes) so the edges don’t dry out)

Bake: 20 minutes.

Add cheese: Sprinkle low fat cheese on top, bake another 10–15 minutes until golden.

Cool & serve: Rest 5–10 minutes before cutting.

And that is all you need to do for a protein-packed lasagna that works great for fitness, meal prep, or just an easy family dinner.

Pro Tip: Add some roasted veggies (like on the first photo) on the side as the lasagna is meaty
