9 lasagna noodles, cooked or oven ready ones
In a processor, chop garlic and onions. Chop green pepper either by hand or in the processor.
Sauté the garlic, onions, and pepper in butter for 5 minutes until golden. Add tuna, soup, and seasonings. Mix well.
In a clean processor bowl, place the parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and 1 egg. Process until smooth. Add second egg if mixture is dry.
Arrange 3 lasagna noodles in the bottom of a greased 9"x13" baking dish. Spread with half of the tuna mixture. Add another layer of noodles. Spread ricotta cheese mixture on top. Add remaining noodles and then the remaining tuna mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella and any other parmesan cheese you have on hand. Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.

This recipe is TNT from The "Pleasures Of Your Food Processor," by Norene Gilletz. I've even made it with the oven-ready lasagna noodles if I'm in a hurry and it turns out nicely. The footnote says it can be frozen although it never seems to lasts that long.
