When I heard that Tim Hortons had just started promoting a new dish: Lasagna and Garlic Bread, I will admit to being very intrigued. I love my pasta, that is no secret! And well, me and Tim Hortons coffee, well, we are best friends. So, why not marry the two?!
Here’s a funny thing, I asked for my meal “to stay” and the above is what they gave me. I nice stainless “tray” with a disposible cup and spoon as well as the garlic bread wrapped in paper. As much as Timmies is getting their recycling/waste sorted out, they still have a ways to go with being more eco-friendly.
The lasagna is a perfect lunch sized portion (there is a large size available) and the garlic bun is a cute little bun that is rather yummy – a bit heavy on the butter though. My meal was super duper hot – which is a good thing, especially if you are taking it “to go”.
The pasta was cooked well and there was a surprisingly very large amount of ground beef!
The downside is that I felt that there was little to no cheese. There were a few white flecks which appeared to be ricotta like, but they were so sparse and I didn’t get any hint of cheese flavour in any of my bites. I love my cheese in lasagna, so this was a disappointment for me. As well because of the lack of cheese, I did find the lasagna to be on the bland side as far as salt goes. I *never* add salt to a meal, but I am guilty to have sprinkled a tiny bit into my lasagna at Timmies!
Would I get this again? Honestly, I’m not sure. Overall, it wasn’t a huge disappointment, but I’m not super excited to try it again either.
I’m sorry Tim Hortons because I truly LOVE your coffee (so much that I would prefer it to be brought home to me over flowers!) and I do enjoy most of your food! But, I have to be honest with my readers on this one.

Even though I know I’m not of Italian descent, I just know I should have been born in Italy…pasta is my all time favorite food! Lasagna is so yummy! I’m going to have to get some NOW!!!
I find it both interesting and wierd that Timmies now sells Lazagna! Maybe it’s just me. I have never been big on their food though and I’m not a coffee drinking so yeah 🙂 lol but I love their ice caps!

I compare every lasagna to my moms and nothing adds up 🙂 but I do love my Timmies drinks and sandwiches
Thanks for this review! My dad has been frequenting Tim Horton’s since my mom passed away and he was wondering about their lasagna. I’ll let him know how you felt!
Thanks
interesting to see these changes! I’m not a fan of lasagna but my fam is so mebbs we’ll consider dropping by for lunch some time.
Ever since I found a local independant donut store that reminded me what a REAL donut is supposed to taste like, I haven’t been back to Timmys for one since. However, I’m still guilty of going there to grab a bagel or croissant every now and then. I’ve been curious about the lasagna, I’ll probably still give it a try but I now I won’t go out of my way to get it. I’m like you, my lasagna needs to be full of cheese 😉
