Mary Berry's Tuna Bake with added Vegetabes

I have recently bought Mary Berry's new cook book, Mary Berry Cooks

 

I love what Mary Berry does and I knew that thee would be a lot of recipes to keep me going.

 

This week I have cooked one of Mary's recipes, however, as usual I had to put a twist on it. I loved the sound of Hobie's Tuna Pasta Bake, however, for us, it was missing something.

 

It was missing vegetables!

 

This is what I got...

 

Mary Berry's Tuna Bake with added Vegetables

 

Ingredients

 

250g pasta

50g butter

50g plain flour

600mls milk

125g mature cheddar cheese

1 tin of tuna

Broccoli

6 medium mushrooms, chopped

1 courgette, halved and sliced

1 onion

Black pepper

 

Method

 

1 - Cook the pasta as per instructions and the broccoli florets in boiling water

 

2 - Fry the onions, mushrooms and courgettes until soft

 

3 - Melt the butter in a pan

 

4 - Add the flour to the melted butter and heat for a minute

 

5 - Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until you have a smooth sauce

 

6 - Add two thirds of the cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper

 

7 - Drain the pasta a broccoli and place in an oven proof dish

 

8 - Flake in the tuna and add the onions, mushrooms and courgettes

 

9 - Pour over the cheese sauce and mix through

 

10 - Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and place under a high grill until the cheese has melted and has browned off a little

 

This pasta dish is delicious served with a garlic baguette. The added vegetables make this dish a great way to get some extra goodness into the kids!
