Provided by cheftini

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tuna

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup milk, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 soda crackers
1 pinch Italian seasoning
3 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 egg white
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the lasagna, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 8 to 9 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk the chicken broth and 1/2 of the milk, into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk and 1/2 of the minced garlic.
  • Place soda crackers in a resealable plastic bag. Finely crush the crackers, then add the Italian seasoning. Combine tuna, mixed vegetables, egg white, salt, 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of the flour mixture, and the remaining minced garlic in a large bowl.
  • Spread a thin layer of the white sauce onto the prepared baking dish, followed by a layer of lasagna noodles. Spread about 1/3 of the tuna mixture over the noodles. Repeat the noodle and tuna layering three more times, topping with the remaining flour mixture. Sprinkle the pepper evenly on top of the casserole. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese and the remaining cracker crumbs. Change the oven setting to broil and return the casserole to the oven. Broil until lightly brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

1 cup diced fresh zucchini
1 cup sliced green onion (include green parts)
1/2 cup chopped green pepper

9 slices provolone cheese
2 -3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I use a lot)
1/3 cup good white wine

Steps:

  • Mix together alfredo sauce and wine.
  • Briefly stir-saute all prepared vegetables in olive oil, except spinach, about two minutes over medium heat.
  • In a large oiled loaf pan, pour 1/2 cup alfredo sauce mix.
  • Top with two uncooked lasagna sheets, breaking the second to fit any uncovered sauce.
  • Top with 1/3 tuna, 1/3 vegetables (pull spinach into small pieces), and 1//3 of each cheese.
  • Pour 1/3 of remaining sauce on top.
  • Repeat layers twice more, reserving the last 1/3 of cheeses for later.
  • (You'll end with sauce).
  • Cover the pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake at 375 for 50 minutes, remove foil, top with remaining cheeses, reduce heat to 350, and bake for another 20 minutes, until top cheese is bubbling and starting to brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • (15 minutes is better if you can stand it!).
  • Slice crosswise in about two inches slabs and serve with your favorite green salad and good chewy bread.
  • Be warned, this is very rich, but it's hard to stop eating.
  • NOTE: Please try to use the albacore tuna in the foil pouch, if at all possible.
  • The taste is noticably better than any canned albacore I've tried.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure a delicious lasagna. Use ripe tomatoes, premium tuna, and a rich cheese blend.
  • Prepare the Pasta Sheets Properly: If using no-boil lasagna sheets, soak them in warm water according to the package instructions. For regular lasagna sheets, pre-cook them as directed on the packaging.
  • Create a Layered Lasagna: Start with a layer of sauce, followed by pasta sheets, tuna mixture, and cheese. Repeat these layers until you reach the desired height.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at the recommended temperature specified in the recipe. This ensures even cooking and prevents the lasagna from drying out.
  • Let the Lasagna Rest: After baking, allow the lasagna to cool slightly before slicing and serving. This helps the flavors meld together and prevents the lasagna from falling apart.
