Swap mince for canned tuna in this budget lasagne recipe, made even easier with cream cheese instead of béchamel sauce

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

400g can chopped tomatoes
250g frozen sliced mixed peppers
85g black olives , from a jar or can, drained and rinsed
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp mixed dried herbs
2 x 185g cans tuna in brine, drained
200g tub cream cheese
12 dried lasagne sheets
125g ball mozzarella , torn into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the tomatoes, peppers, olives, cinnamon and herbs into a pan, cover and simmer for 10 mins until the tomatoes have broken down a little. Add the tuna and season.
  • Tip the cream cheese into a bowl, season and mix to loosen a little, adding a splash of water (or milk, if you have some) to make a thick white-sauce consistency. 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. Scatter over the mozzarella and bake for 35 mins until golden and bubbling.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna packed in olive oil or water, as it retains more flavor and nutrients compared to tuna packed in brine.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Combine different types of cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta, to create a rich and flavorful lasagna.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, but be careful not to overcook them, as they will become mushy.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: After baking the lasagna, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.

Conclusion:

Tuna lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of tuna, cheese, and pasta, this lasagna is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Whether you're a fan of traditional lasagna or looking for something new and exciting, tuna lasagna is definitely worth a try.
