Syn Free Lasagna ( A Slimming World recipe)

Syn Free Lasagna

So here is a delicious healthy lasagna recipe for you to try.  It is cooked with the Slimming World plan in mind, but I'm not a consultant so please check all syn values yourself if you are unsure.  The cheese used is the equivalent of your HEX A portion per person, if not it would be 6 syns.
