Bish, Bash, Bosh! This is a super easy and quick recipe for a delicious hearty dinner – a fabulous recipe for when it’s raining outside!! Now, of course, there will be ingredients in here that not everyone will enjoy, a few possible switch-ups could be:

What are you waiting for – give it a go!!

Ingredients:
- 600g Pasta – Any type works
- 340g tin of sweetcorn
- 2 x 160g tins of tuna in spring water, drained
- 600ml Milk
- 50g Plain Flour
- 50g Butter
- 250g Cheddar
- Handful of Parsley
- A squeeze of Lemon Juice
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 180C/ Fan Oven 160C. Boil your pasta in a pan for a minute under the recommended time, it will continue to cook in the oven!
- Now to make a white sauce! Melt your butter in a pan and add the plain flour, stirring throughout.
- Cook this for a minute before gradually adding the milk to the mixture, once again stirring continuously. The outcome should be a thick white sauce.
- Take the sauce off of the heat and add the cheddar. Save a handful of cheese for later! Make sure that it is completely mixed.
- Drain your pasta and add to the white sauce. Mix in your tuna, sweetcorn and parsley. Add a squeeze of lemon and season to your preferred taste.
- Pop the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle it with cheese, remember the bit from earlier!
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, and voila!!! This dish will serve six portions or serve fewer people and have lunch for tomorrow… I’ll let you make that decision!!
