Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use homemade Italian seasoning. To make your own, combine dried oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram.
- If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
- Be sure to drain the tuna well before adding it to the lasagna. This will help to prevent the lasagna from becoming watery.
- If you like a more cheesy lasagna, feel free to add an extra cup of mozzarella cheese to the top.
- Lasagna is a great make-ahead meal. You can assemble it the day before and then bake it when you're ready to serve.
