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.

I cooked this last weekend, but i used linguini instead of lasagna. I used spicy tuna in can and used the oil with the tuna to saute. I added sliced button mushrooms too for the veggie content. I ommitted the white sauce coz i couldnt find any flour in my cupboard. added grated mozarella on to and baked til it melted. It turned out so good! will definitely make it again.
