Ingredients:

For the tuna lasagne:

  • First Choice Olive Oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 250 g sliced mushrooms
  • 30 g peppadews, chopped
  • 2 tins tuna in oil, drained and flaked (tinned tuna 170 g each)
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 150 g lasagne sheets
  • 140 g First Choice Mature Cheddar Cheese
  • 60 ml sundried tomato pesto
  • 5 ml paprika

For the cheese sauce:

  • 80 g First Choice Butter
  • 80 ml flour
  • 800 ml First Choice Milk
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 100 g First Choice Mature Cheddar Cheese, grated

Preparation method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Heat half of the First Choice Olive Oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes on medium heat. Remove and keep aside.
  3. Add the rest of the First Choice Olive Oil and cook the mushrooms in the frying pan until golden brown and cooked. Season.
  4. Mix together the onions, mushrooms, the chopped peppadews and lastly mix in the tuna.
  5. Prepare the cheese sauce: Heat the butter on medium heat in another saucepan until melted, add the flour and stir on the heat for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk. Whisk it well to ensure that there are no lumps.
  6. Put it back on the heat and stir continually as it heats up, cooks through and thickens to your liking. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the cheese.
  7. Use an oven-proof dish to construct your lasagne layers. First off, spoon a few tablespoons of the cheese sauce onto the bottom of the lasagne dish.
  8. Then place a layer of the pasta sheets and top with half of the tuna mixture, a layer of cheese sauce and half of the grated cheddar cheese. Drizzle over all the pesto.
  9. Repeat this step and finish off with the rest of the cheese and sprinkle with the paprika.
  10. Cover the lasagne dish with foil or a lid and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until it is done.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
  12. Let the lasagne stand for 10 minutes before serving.
