Tuna Caper and Ricotta Lasagne

Lasagne would have to be one of the most popular pasta dishes. It’s right up there when it comes to family favourites. There are many versions and adaptations of this quintessential dish, we’ve even given some of our variations at the bottom, of this page. Give this tuna, caper and ricotta lasagne a try next time you’re craving comfort food.

Tuna Caper and Ricotta Lasagne

Tuna Caper and Ricotta Lasagne offers a unique and vibrant flavour profile that blends the richness of creamy ricotta with the briny, savoury notes of tuna and capers. The ricotta adds a soft, mild, and slightly sweet creaminess that balances the dish, while the tuna brings a hearty, meaty texture with a subtle oceanic flavour. Capers, with their sharp, tangy, and salty bite, add a burst of brightness that cuts through the richness, creating a harmonious contrast. Together, these ingredients are layered with pasta, resulting in a comforting yet lively dish with a delightful interplay of creamy, savory, and tangy flavours.

Tip:  Make sure you put a little sauce down in the pan first so that the first layer of pasta does not stick to the pan.
