- Don't Overcook the Tuna: Tuna can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's opaque throughout.
- Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: You can make the Italian spiced white sauce up to 3 days in advance. This will save you time on the day you're making the lasagna.
- Let the Lasagna Rest Before Serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set. It's best to let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
