CHEESY TUNA LASAGNA ROLL UPS

If you have gone through my blog, you would see that I already have a Three Cheese Tuna Lasagna Recipe posted. However this recipe may be similar, there are elements that are a bit different as well. Typical lasagna like my other lasagna recipe, are arranged in layers of the protein, pasta and cheese and then baked. This dish, however, is more labor intensive but the end result is always more than worth it.

Ingredients:

12 lasagna noodles
2 cans of tuna
1 can condensed cream of mushroom
1/4 cup whole milk
1 cup cottage cheese
1 egg 
1/4 cup scallions/green onions
1 medium onion minced
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees C.

Cook the lasagna noodles as per package instructions.

For the sauce/filling, sauté the minced onions in a sauce pan then add the tuna. Pour in the cream of mushroom and milk. Season it with garlic powder and dried parsley.

Take it off the stove and add the scallions/green onions, egg and 1 cup cottage cheese and cheddar cheese.

Line the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with the filling enough to cover the whole surface.

Arrange one cooked lasagna on a flat surface. Cover it with the filling and roll. Repeat the step on the remaining 12 noodles leaving enough filling to drizzle on top of the arranged lasagna later.

Arrange the rolled lasagna on the baking dish as shown in the photo.

Top it with the remaining filling and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and garnish with dried parmesan.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Easy to serve in individual portions. Pair it with garlic herb toast and you have one tasty filling meal. Enjoy.

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!
