A simple, filling and super delicious lasagna for one, perfect for anyone on a weight loss journey or in a calorie deficit! This recipe is vegan and can easily be made gluten-free.
Spray 7-10 1 calorie sprays in a small saucepan and sauté the onions stirring occasionally until soft and brown - around 2 minutes.
Add the meat-free mince and minced garlic and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Stir in the passata and water and sprinkle in the seasonings. Simmer on medium heat until the sauce has thickened, about for 5-7 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir the cream cheese, minced garlic and dried parsley until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
To assemble the lasagna:
Spread ⅓ of the meat-free sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Add a lasagna sheet and top with another ⅓ of the meat-free sauce.
Add another lasagna sheet followed by the remaining meat sauce and top with the cream cheese and grated cheese.
Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted to a golden-brown.

Notes
Lasagna sheets - I used dry lasagna sheets that didn't need to be pre-cooked as I just find these the easiest to work with. You can use fresh lasagna sheets or pre-cook your dry lasagna sheets. Just cook according to the package instructions. In terms of calories - each pasta sheet I used was around 13g which equates to 45 calories each.Meat-free mince - I used meat-free mince as it is super low in calories compared to regular mince and when seasoned correctly, you honestly don't notice much of a difference. You can use regular beef mince or any other type of mince but again, the calories will differ so be mindful if you're in a deficit.Cream cheese - I use Philadelphia lightest cream cheese as it very low in calories. If you're able to get your hands on Philadelphia's lightest cream cheese, I would 100% recommend you do! If not, you can use any cream cheese for this recipe. The calories will differ though. Seasonings - I would suggest you stick to the measurements and seasonings I have outlined in this recipe for the best results but feel free to season to your taste!
