Here's one I'm planning to batch cook tomorrow, to make 6 good sized portions of around 300 cals each:
350g Quorn Mince (quorn is lower cal than own brands)
1 jar of Co-op pasta sauce (or any around 260 cals)
8 sheets lasagne
1 sachet colmans cheddar cheese sauce made up with semi skimmed milk
2 garlic cloves
1 onion
5 large mushrooms
6-8 cherry/plum tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp tomato puree
50g mozarella
Italian seasoning & bayleaves to taste
Seasoning
Total cals approx 1900
Makes 6 x 300-315 calorie portions
Fry your onions & garlic in the oil & add the quorn mince. You may need to add some water to keep it from sticking, as we're keeping the oil down. You could add a beef oxo if you want to make it meatier for only a few cals extra.
Add the chopped mushrooms, tomatoes then the puree and stir.
Add the sauce, seasonings & bayleaves until well combined and quorn cooked through.
Remove from heat.
Prepare the cheese sauce as per the instructions on the sachet.
Place 2 sheets of lasagne in the bottom of your square baking tin or dish. Smooth approx one third of the bolognaise mix into a base layer, followed by approx one third of the sauce - note you might want to pull out the bayleaves as you go! Now place 3 sheets of lasagne on top (at least, I need 3 as my dish is tapered outwards) and repeat the bolognaise/cheese sauce layer. Repeat again with lasagne and layers. Now sprinkle on the mozarella, a bit of italian seasoning and maybe a grind or two of black pepper.
Oven bake at around 200 degrees for 25-30 mins.
Cut into 6 roughly evenly weighted portions (you may want to weigh your dish before you cook, so you can calculate the total weight of the lasagne and divide accordingly). My portions are around 270g each.
I served this with 150g baby potatoes (120cals) chopped into wedges brushed with a tiny bit of olive oil and salt (I don't worry about those few cals) and baked in the oven for about half an hour at 200°; and 80g of peas (60 cals). Total 495cals.
You could serve this with a nice big salad and a bit of garlic bread or maybe some homemade potato wedges using baby potatoes and a little olive oil.
Yum!

- 495 cals, delicious and filling! Hardly seems like fasting :D
Far fewer cals that way!
