Tuna Lasagna

Tomboy's Note:

This is a great favourite in my household. And I have found that even people who generally don't like tuna enjoy this dish. It's sounds unusual I know, but it really is very nice served with crusty bread and a green salad!

Good but we weren't wowed by this, rather lacking in seasoning and creamier than we like. Just a bit of seasoning may have made all the difference. Also I may make my usual white sauce rather than this one which adds cottage cheese to the same ingredients, this I would put on top rather than in the layers. Changes I made were grated zuchinni added, diced tomatoes rather than tomatoes and mozzarella instead of tasty.
