  3. Once the tuna is hot, add the heavy cream, canned tomato sauce, and herbs and mix well.
  4. In a big baking pan, layer the sauce and pasta sheet layers on top of each other one at a time. Add grated cheese on top and don’t be shy.
  5. Place into the oven and cook for 45 minutes or until the cheese has browned on top. Top with fresh basil and voila!; the most delicious lasagna recipe with lots of protein.
