Mini Morley, recipe development manager at HelloFresh, said: “We know pasta is a popular meal here in the UK, and it’s no surprise that lasagne was high on the list. This warm, hearty dish is perfect for families and those wanting to make meals to last a few nights.
“Our data shows that people are certainly experimenting with flavours in lasagnes. With searches for different ingredients growing in popularity, especially the inclusion of lots of vegetables, we recommend adding plenty of greens including spinach, courgettes and asparagus to make a UK favourite healthier.”
