I would say so, my understanding is that lasagna is just a dish made from layering wide flat noodles, sauce, and other fillings.
My mom makes a white lasagna with ground chicken, spinach, Alfredo sauce, and cheese. It's amazing! I prefer it to a traditional lasagna, but I'm biased since I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes.
Ricotta/tomato is not a necessity for a lasagne (in fact for a real lasagna bolognese you would need bechamel and meat ragu, but that is besides the point). Have you never had salmon lasagne with spinach?
It really depends on the tuna used, imo. You use shitty canned stuff, expect a shitty result. Use decent canned stuff, get decent result. You get the idea.
Me? I'm not a fan of tuna mixed in with pastas. Doubly so if there's cheese. It's edible, but not enjoyable.

Is it still lasagna if you use Alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce?

If you like tuna casserole, it is basically the same thing with different noodles. I would add an extra can of tuna. Sample recipe: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheesy-tuna-lasagna/#RecipeCard

It's alright. I was always bummed when my mom made it, just because I love regular lasagna so much more.

I don't know and I don't want to find out.

Personally I don't think tuna and tomato / ricotta would pair well but it's not repulsive.

Great point(s) and no, but that sounds delicious. I find salmon more “meaty” if that makes sense.

@Reshirams_Rad_Slam @devdoggy I am Minnesotan, but I have never had tuna lasagna nor heard of it. What sort of devilish concoction is this?
Reshirams_Rad_Slam@mastodo.neoliber.al · 1 pts · 1y
@Minnewegian @devdoggy I heard it was an option from a fast food pizza restaurant

Eh, for a given value of good.
