Best ready made lasagne

[lasagnelle]

Which is the best ready made lasagne in your opinion. I want to compile a spreadsheet and rank them

I didn't know they did two ranges. This is going to make the experiment longer

Charlie Bigham definitely.

Ah I shall stand on the shoulders of giants. At the rate of one lasagne a fortnight it could take a while

We also like Lidl I’m glad we are not the only ones. We find there is so much sauce so we get a small one and bulk it out with extra plain penne and steamed green vegetables (usually broccoli or green beans).

I've had the Lidl and M&S ones and liked them both.
There's a recipe I've seen lately for "casual" lasagne done in either a slow cooker or casserole dish. Bit less of a faff to make, but not sure it would be as good.

Are you creating a separate sheet for the veggie ones? If so the Cook one! And if not I've just found out what I'll be doing this winter...

If you live near a Prezzemolo and Vitale Italian Deli (a few around London), they sell the most perfect homemade lasagna for £7.5 (Charlie Bingham at my local supermarket costs £8.75 and doesn’t even come close)

Charlie bighams vegetarian one. Meat eating DH absolutely loves it too. It's like a really rich lentil ragu.

Absolutely agree the veggie Cook one is delicious! Cook in general wins all ready meals for me. I don’t get the Charlie Bigham love, the portion sizes are far too small imo! 🤣

Could you take on the veggie ones? I think this might be a divide and conquer thing

I didn't realise normal lasagne was formal!

Another vote for Charlie Bighams!

Cook!

I agree it's M&S - there's a Gastropub one which is the best I've tasted.

Iceland!

It's lovely and there's so much bechamel sauce.

Some ready mades scrimp on the sauce!

The Cook one without a doubt!

Actually I think Sainsbo's also sell it.

Cook.

Another vote for Cook

OH likes Charlie Bigham’s! (Almost as much as my homemade one 😱)

Anything with white sauce from Tesco tends to be gloopy imho, even their Finest range.

Lasagne is now of those meals that takes ages from scratch, but is fine if you've got the bolognese/ragu in the freezer.

Cook or Charlie Bigham

I used to make a lazy baked pasta version where you put your bolognaise ragu into a tallish casserole and push uncooked cannelloni tubes down vertically into the ragu - think Sellafield nuclear fuel rod style - then pile your cheese sauce on top. That would probably work well in a slow cooker, although the top wouldn’t be crispy.

DH says Co Op finest range

Thank you for your service, Mr @TinaYouFatLard ... 🥲

I agree, though - Marksies GastroPahhhhb... When I was young and trying ti impress, I would make my own lasagne. But now, ain't nobody got time for that...
