This is the Strength Meals Co Slow Cooked Beef Lasagne, a high-protein prepared pasta meal featuring layers of slow-cooked pulled beef ragù, pasta sheets and béchamel. Containing 38.0 g of protein, it was available from the refrigerated section.
The meal comprised 33% beef and 17% pasta, with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Preparation involved microwaving the tray on high for 3 minutes after piercing the film twice, followed by a 30-second standing period before removing the film.
Initial contact delivered a rich tomato and beef ragù, similar to the sauce used in the brand’s ragù spaghetti, with a very fine mince. While this mince was less appealing in the spaghetti, the lasagne sheets provided sufficient textural contrast here, allowing the beef to contribute flavour without the filling becoming monotonous. The béchamel and cheese added a creamy, savoury layer reminiscent of Pasta Master Lasagne, a previously preferred product that is no longer available. The ragù was well seasoned and contained vegetables that had cooked down into the sauce. A pool of liquid initially formed on the surface after microwaving, but was reabsorbed into the ragù during eating without detracting from the meal.
Overall, a high-protein lasagne with a rich, tomato-forward beef ragù and a cohesive combination of tender pasta sheets, fine mince and creamy béchamel. The well-seasoned filling and savoury cheese profile recalled the previously preferred Pasta Master Lasagne, while the pasta sheets provided the textural contrast needed to make the fine mince work effectively.
