SIMPLE THREE CHEESE TUNA LASAGNA

I've been really off schedule when it comes to my blog posts. I apologize to all of you who regularly check for new recipes. My health issues have thrown me off my routine and it took a while to get things back in place.

Now, I'm trying to catch up on all the recipes especially those that have been requested.

This has shown to be one of the favorites among my Facebook posts. The Three Cheese Tuna Lasagna. Three cheese because of the cottage, parmesan and cheddar or mozzarella.

The traditional lasagna uses ground beef and ricotta cheese. In this recipe, we have way healthier alternatives and yet the taste is still as amazing.

Ingredients:

2 cans of solid tuna in oil
1 can of condensed cream of Mushroom soup
1/2 cup of whole milk
1/4 cup scallions or green onions
1/4 cup of fresh or dried parsley
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1 medium onion, minced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of grated or shredded mozzarella or easy melt cheddar cheese
1 cup of cottage cheese
12 pieces of lasagna noodles
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Cook the lasagna noodles first according to package instructions.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, mix first 8 ingredients together and add 1 cup of the grated mozzarella or easy melt cheddar cheese.

In a greased 8x11 baking dish or pan, arrange 3 lasagna noodles to line the bottom. Pour a third of the tuna mixture over it and then spread a moderate layer of cottage cheese on top. Repeat the steps twice. To finish, add the last three lasagna noodles and top it with the remaining 1 cup of grated mozzarella or easy melt cheddar. Then, sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese and some chopped fresh parsley on top.

Bake it in the oven for 25-30 minutes, usually when the cheese has completely melted and slightly browned.

Take it out of the oven and let it sit for about 15 minutes for the dish to settle and can be sliced easily.

Serve and enjoy!
