Ingredients

Servings

300 g fusilli pasta (or any pasta shape you like: penne and rigatoni also work well)
290 g tuna chunks in brine (or spring water) drained (I use 2 x 145g / 10oz tins)
165 g full fat cream cheese I use Philadelphia*
200 g tin sweetcorn drained (or use 160g / 5½oz frozen sweetcorn)
100 g cheddar cheese grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
black pepper to taste

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions / your own preferences in a large saucepan. For best results, slightly undercook the pasta. This is because the pasta will cook a little more when baked in the oven.
Drain the pasta immediately when cooked to your liking and return the pasta to the pan.
Add to the pan: the tuna, cream cheese, sweetcorn, HALF the cheddar, the mustard and some black pepper.
Stir everything together until well mixed, then tip into a shallow oven dish.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pasta, then bake in your preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until nicely browned.
Serve on its own, or with a green salad and/or garlic bread.

Notes

Suitable for freezing. (Though the flavour and texture won’t be as good.)
