Italian recipes
Pasta, risotto and more — and where the gentler swaps are. Sorted from gentlest, and scored with the GASP Score.

Gentle Lasagne (or no-pasta, moussaka-style)
1.5/ 10A rich beef lasagne built on our onion- and garlic-free stock, garlic-infused oil and just a little tomato paste, layered with a lower-lactose cheese sauce. Have it with pasta, or skip the sheets for soft eggplant layers.
Serves 6 · 75 min

Gentle Spaghetti Bolognese
1.6/ 10A rich, slow-simmered bolognese that skips the onion and garlic but keeps all the savoury depth — built on our onion-free stock, garlic-infused oil and a little tomato paste. A weeknight staple the whole table can share.
Serves 6 · 55 min

Gentle Spaghetti & Meatballs
1.7/ 10Soft, herby beef-and-pork meatballs in a gentle tomato sauce over white spaghetti — onion- and garlic-free, but full of flavour. A proper family dinner that won't cost you the night.
