Transforming family suppers with new prepared vegetables from Sainsbury’s

‘I absolutely loved it’

It’s not often I receive a text from a friend with comments on kids suppers, but the other day I felt I got it right when we made lasagne with hidden vegetables at a play date.

I had received a hamper from Sainsbury’s with samples from the new prepared vegetable range released this month, and I had decided to make a courgette lasagne with roasted butternut squash on the side.

My friend and I ended up cooking it together, making the white sauce with butter, flour and milk and the meat sauce with minced beef, passata and spices. We then layered it all up in an ovenproof dish using the new Sainsbury’s Courgette Lasagne Sheets instead of traditional lasagne sheets and sprinkling cheese on the top.

At the same time as making the lasagne, we mixed a pack of Sainsbury’s Butternut Squash Squaffles and Sainsbury’s Butternut Squash Crinkle Chips and roasted them in the oven.

It was quick and super easy–and something I probably wouldn’t have done without having the sliced courgette sheets and pre-shaped butternut squash.

In fact, I’ve not had much success with getting the children to eat courgette before at all, but in the lasagne it seemed to work brilliantly.

There were four children who had supper together in our kitchen that evening, and they all appeared to enjoy their courgette lasagne and the two butternut squash options.

The new Sainsbury’s vegetable range is one I’ll start to look out for!

The new range also includes Butternut Lasagne Slices, Broccoli Rice, which is finely chopped broccoli, and more
