Method

In a deep pan, warm the olive oil and add the chopped onions. Next, add the garlic, stir and let it brown a little.
Add the leeks, cabbage and carrots, stirring until they soften.
Finally, add the peppers, season with salt and pepper and leave to cook, adding a splash of water to make them softer.

Once off the heat, add the drained tuna and chopped parsley, mixing everything well. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 0C.
Place a small layer of béchamel sauce on a baking tray and a lasagne sheet on top (if the tray is too short, cut one of the sheets into strips to complete the layers).
Coat the lasagne sheet with more béchamel and distribute 1/3 of the filling, sprinkling with béchamel and grated cheese.
Add another lasagne sheet and repeat the process until you have three layers of filling. Finish with a lasagne sheet, grated cheese and the remaining béchamel.
Sprinkle with oregano and bake for about 30 minutes or until the pasta is cooked and the top is golden.

Serve with lettuce, rocket and tomato salad.
