Prep time

Ingredients
- Chopped Tomato: 400g can chopped tomatoes
- Pepper: 250g frozen sliced mixed peppers
- Tuna: 2 x 185g cans tuna in brine, drained
- Mozzarella: 125g ball mozzarella, torn into pieces
- Black Olive: 85g black olives, from a jar or can, drained and rinsed
- Ground Cinnamon: 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Cream Cheese: 200g tub cream cheese
- Lasagne: 12 dried lasagne sheets
- Mixed Dried Herbs: 1 tbsp mixed dried herbs
Directions
- 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.
