Ingredients

  • 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

Method

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
