Steps:
- Cook the onion and garlic. Pour the oil into the frying pan and heat over a moderate temperature. When the oil is fairly hot add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion softens.
- Add more ingredients for the sauce. Add the chopped tomato, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil and lemon juice. Season well with salt and pepper, mix together and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the tuna and remove the pan from the heat.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F, 180 degrees C, or on gas mark 4.
- Make the bechamel sauce. Melt butter in the saucepan, then add the flour and stir in well. While stirring, slowly pour in the milk. Season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce thicken by gradually bringing it to the boil whilst continually stirring. Finally add the parmesan cheese, stir in and remove sauce from the heat.
- Layer the lasagne and sauces in the casserole dish. To build the lasagne, firstly spoon some tuna sauce over the bottom of the casserole dish. Next, add a layer of lasagne and spread some bechamel sauce on top. Finally add a layer of mozzarella. Repeat this process until you've added all the ingredients. The last layer should be the béchamel sauce which will become crisp in the oven.
- Bake the lasagne. Place the dish in the middle of the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the bechamel sauce has turned golden-brown.
- Serve. When golden and bubbling, remove the lasagne from the oven and serve while piping hot with a fresh, green salad and crusty bread.

Steps:
- For the meat sauce: In a stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the beef (do not brown first), tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic salt, bay leaves and onion. Add 2 cups water. Mix until combined. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in the vinegar and simmer for another 30 minutes.
- For the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl combine the ricotta, basil, parsley, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, if using, and egg and stir until well blended.
- Spread 2 cups meat sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place 4 noodles over the sauce-it is okay if they overlap slightly. Dollop 2/3 cup of the ricotta mixture on the noodles, then spread it in an even layer. Top the ricotta with 4 slices ham, then 4 slices provolone. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella over the provolone. Repeat the layering-sauce, noodles, ricotta, ham, provolone, mozzarella-twice more. Top with another layer of noodles, then the Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake until the dish is bubbling and the noodles are cooked (you can test by poking with a sharp knife to make sure the noodles are soft), about 50 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes, then serve warm.

Assemble the lasagne in a baking dish, approx 20 x 30cm. Pour roughly a third of the tuna sauce into the bottom of the dish, top with 4 lasagne sheets, a third of the cream cheese sauce, then repeat the layers twice more.
