Sally Bee showcase her healthiest lasagne recipe on Lorraine. Sally who became very health conscious after suffering a heart attack many years ago says:

“What saved my life, was that prior to being ill, I had eaten a healthy diet. Not because I thought my health needed looking after at that young age, but because if I didn’t, I piled on the pounds.

Eating a healthy diet had meant that my body was infact ‘well enough’ to take such a huge catastrophe. How unbelievably lucky I had been. Since then I have been fascinated to learn about how I can continue to improve on this. I’ve learnt a lot. And I want to share it with you.”
