Lots of broccoli helps this easy dish more substantial and by making the sauce using an all-in-one method, you can get away with less fat. Make sure your whisk is covered with heatproof silicone if you use a non-stick pan to make the sauce, otherwise you could damage the coating of the pan.
Servings: 6
Calories: 258 kcal

Ingredients

  • 100g dried pasta shapes , such as fusilli or penne
  • 150g broccoli , cut into small florets
  • 198g can sweetcorn , drained
  • 185g can tuna in water or brine , drained
  • 25g butter
  • 40g plain flour
  • 500ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 75g ready-grated mozzarella
  • flaked sea salt
  • ground black pepper

Method

  1. Half fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the pasta, return to the boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or according to the packet instructions, stirring occasionally until tender. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute more.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. Put the butter, flour and milk in a non-stick saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly with a silicone whisk.

  3. Cook for 3 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and smooth, stirring continuously. Add half the cheese and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring until the cheese has melted. Preheat the grill to its hottest setting.

  4. Drain the pasta and broccoli in a large colander and return to the pan. Gently stir in the hot cheese sauce and sweetcorn until thoroughly combined. Flake the tuna into the saucepan and stir lightly so it doesn’t break up too much.

  5. Tip the tuna mixture into a warmed flameproof dish (a lasagna dish is ideal) or six individual pie dishes. Place on a baking tray and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Grill for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.

Recipe Notes

Tip

Cut any large florets in half or quarters as they need to cook quickly for this dish.

Feeling like a break from all that festive food? T Feeling like a break from all that festive food? This roasted veg salad may be just what you need. I’ve topped it with yoghurt that I’ve strained overnight in the fridge until it’s really thick - it’s lighter than cheese and is the perfect addition to a warm salad. I’ve sprinkled the salad with a few mixed seeds, added some leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. An easy way to kick off a healthy 2021! 🥗

It’s a beautiful day for a layered salad. Here's It’s a beautiful day for a layered salad. Here's one I made in the test kitchen. Eat at home or on the go. To avoid soggy leaves, put the dressing in first and the leaves last, then only toss – or tip – when you are ready to serve 🌞
