Christmas tuna lasagna

Tuna is protein rich food good for Christmas eve if you abstain from meat . Previously i gave you the Christmas tuna pasta recipe .

This can be made using boiled fresh fish instead of tuna .

I make this lasagna without oven by layering this pasta sauce with homemade lasagna sheets in a  skillet and cook in low flame . You can also  use thin  pancakes instead of lasagna sheets to make this dish.
