I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Tear the bread into smaller pieces and turn to crumbs by crumbing for 5 seconds on speed 8. Set aside.
Add the cubes of cheese to the TM bowl and grate for 10 seconds on speed 8. Set aside.
Add the clove of garlic to the TM bowl and chop for 3 seconds on speed 7. Add the onion and chop for 3 seconds on speed 5. Add butter and saute for 5 minutes / 100° / speed 1.
Add the flour, milk and veggie stock paste and cook for 7 minutes / 90° / reverse / speed 4.
Now with the blades turning on reverse / speed 2 add the spinach, tuna and lemon juice and HALF of the reserved grated cheese through the hole in the lid over a 2 minute period until gently combined. Pour the mornay into ThermoServer while you make the bechamel sauce.
Give the TM bowl a quick rinse but don't worry about making it immaculately clean. Add all the bechamel ingredients into the TM bowl and cook for 5 minutes & 30 seconds / 90° / speed 4. Set aside.
Follow instructions for making the pasta dough in the cookbook that came with your Thermomix.
Using a pasta maker (I have a manual one and find it so therapeutic to turn the handle. ha!) Start with number one (using a small piece of dough) and continue folding the dough into thirds and turning the number up one knotch at a time going all the way to the thinnest setting possible - for me that's number 7).
Preheat the oven to 200°.
Grease your lasagne dish with butter or oil and line the base with one layer of lasagne sheets. Spread one third of the mornay sauce over the lasagne.
Repeat the layers another two times, finishing with a layer of lasagne sheets.
Pour the bechamel topping sauce over the top and sprinkle with bread crumbs and the remainder of the grated cheese.
Cover with alfoil and cook for 20 minutes in preheated oven. Remove alfoil and continue cooking for another 20 minutes or until the top is golden and crunchie. Enjoy with homemade garlic bread and a salad.

Tip
I don't always make my own lasagne sheets but when I am trying to save money, I will spend the time to make them myself. So cheap especially when you get free eggs from your mum's chooks! Feel free to buy lasagne sheets ready made to save you time.

Stumbled upon this by accident. Made it for my friends for something different - low and behold they loved it!
It was SENSATIONAL.
The table was actually QUIET!
This was to die for! I used fresh lasagne sheets that I bought. I doubled the bechamel topping which was perfect. Great recipe, thanks! Would serve 6 easily.
I've made this twice, first time was with English spinach and second time was with baby spinach. I think it turned out better with the baby spinach or maybe because I was better practiced at it. This time around I assembled the lasagne as the bechemel sauce was cooking and found I had it perfectly timed! I felt so efficient! This will be a regular for us. Thanks for the recipe!
This was very tasty thank you. Next time I'm going to double the bechamel sauce. I think a nice alternative would be salmon & dill also.
Like all lasagnes this tastes even better after it had been in the fridge overnight. I cheated and used Lasange sheets. Would definetly make it again.
Spinach and Tuna Lasagne - Another winner Carola! Delicious! I didn't use the lemon juice as that would have been a deal breaker for my 8yo. I did use instant lasagne sheets with good results. Five stars! Thanks for sharing!
