CREAMY TUNA PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/350f.
• Boil a large pan of water, add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes.
• Whilst the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan, add in the onion and cook on low for 6-8 minutes until the onions are very soft.
• Turn up the heat to medium and stir in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the milk, using a whisk to stir (just stir, don't whisk) it in.
• Once all the milk is incorporated, continue to heat whilst stirring until the sauce thickens. Then stir in 2/3 of the cheese until melted. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Drain the pasta and pour into a 20x30cm baking dish. Pour over the white sauce, then add the tuna, sweetcorn and petit pois.
• Mix together, then sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until the cheese is golden brown. Top with a sprinkling of parsley before serving.

TUNA PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
• Cook the pasta in a saucepan of plenty of boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
• 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.
• Spoon the tuna into the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Pour over the pasta and sauce. Tap the dish gently so the sauce pours into every nook and cranny. Sprinkle over the remaining grated cheese.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the top is a golden-brown. Serve immediately.

TUNA & SUNDRIED TOMATO PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the grill to its highest setting and put a large saucepan of salted water on to boil. Tip in the pasta and cook for 1 min less than the pack suggests.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce by simmering the tomatoes in a pan with a little seasoning and the thyme for about 5 mins. Pour in the cream, stir and simmer for another 4-5 mins.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water, and tip back into the saucepan. Pour over the creamy tomato sauce, the sundried tomatoes, sweetcorn and tuna. Layer into a baking dish (ours was 22 x 29cm), scattering over the grated cheddar between layers. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top and put under the grill for 5 mins until bubbling and golden.

TUNA & BROCCOLI PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the reserved oil from the tuna in a very large saucepan. Tip in the tomatoes plus 200ml water and simmer while you cook the pasta, following pack instructions. Add the broccoli for the final 3 mins, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water.
• Heat the grill. Stir the soft cheese into the tomato sauce until melted, then mix with the pasta, broccoli and drained tuna, along with a little of the reserved cooking water if the sauce looks a bit thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• Tip into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle on the cheddar and crumbs. Grill, not too close to the heat, for about 4-6 mins until golden and bubbling. Serve with a big side salad, if you like.

• Boil 600g rigatoni for 2 mins less time than stated on the pack.
• To make the sauce, melt 50g butter in a saucepan and stir in 50g plain flour.
• Cook for 1 min, then gradually stir in 600ml milk to make a thick white sauce.
• Remove from the heat and stir in all but a handful of the 250g grated cheddar.
• Drain the pasta, mix with the white sauce, two 160g drained cans tuna, one 330g drained can sweetcorn and a large handful of chopped parsley, then season.
• Transfer to a baking dish and top with the rest of the grated cheddar.
• Bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese on top is golden and starting to brown.

ONE-PAN CREAMY TUNA PASTA

Steps:

• Combine butter, pasta, broth, 2 cups water, and shallots in a large straight-sided skillet or stockpot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until very al dente, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in asparagus; cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add arugula, Parmesan, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Fold in tuna and lemon juice. Serve immediately, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with more pepper and Parmesan.

TUNA & TOMATO PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Put the pasta in a large pan of boiling water and cook following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the oil from the can of tuna in a saucepan with the onion and fry for 5 mins. Pour the milk on top of the onions and whisk in the flour. Keep cooking, whisking all the time, until the sauce thickens. Off the heat, stir in the tuna, 100g of the cheese and the mustard powder.
• When the pasta is cooked, drain it and tip into the sauce along with the sweetcorn. Season, then pile into a large ovenproof dish.
• Heat the grill to high. Tuck the tomato slices in and around the pasta so they stick out, then scatter the remaining cheese over the top. Grill for 5-10 mins until golden, crispy and bubbling.
