Tuna Pasta Bake

Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture darkens slightly. Slowly stir in the milk, stirring until smooth after each addition of milk. Stir in the mustard powder and continue to cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in most of the cheese, and all the sweetcorn, peas and spring onion. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce.

The tuna pasta bake is a hearty and filling recipe and just what the doctor ordered at this time of year.

Method:

Firstly, preheat oven to 210°C. Lightly grease a large ovenproof dish. Cook the pasta in a pan of salted boiling water until al dente (follow pack instructions for exact timings). For the last two minutes of cooking, add the small broccoli florets. Drain and set aside.

Whilst the pasta is cooking, make the cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour and cook for one to two minutes. Gradually add in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Once all the milk is added, keep stirring and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for around five minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. Stir in 80g of grated cheese, allowing it to melt in the sauce's residual heat.

Combine the pasta, broccoli, cheese sauce, tuna, tomatoes, capers, onions and corn in a large bowl and mix well. Sprinkle with the remaining 120g of cheddar and breadcrumbs. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Top with parsley and serve immediately.

Once the autumn weather sets in, I'm ready to crank up the oven and cook up cozy comforting meals. That's why I'm a big fan of casseroles. While they bake the aroma fills the house and reminds me of the home-cooked dishes my grandmother used to make. That's what inspired this Creamy Noodle Bake recipe. It's an easy-prep supper that's perfect for warming up on chilly days.

We start with fettuccine, but you can sub in almost any pasta you have on hand — penne, rotini or fusilli would also work well. Convenient canned soup and a trio of veggies come together as the base for the tuna and pasta. Then sharp cheddar cheese makes it ooey-gooey good. Seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with a bit of olive oil create the crunchy coating. Sprinkle more cheese on top because, let's face it, who wouldn't love even more melty deliciousness. Make a batch then let us know what you think.
