Ingredients
  1. 120g pasta
  2. 80g frozen sweetcorn
  3. 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  4. 1 garlic clove, crushed
  5. 185g tin of tuna in sunflower oil
  6. 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
  7. 1 tsp dried basil
  8. 1 tsp dried oregano
  9. Black pepper to taste.
  10. Salt if required.
  11. 75g grated mozarella
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C.
  2. Gently bring your pasta to the boil in a large saucepan and then simmer for 8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile pour a little of the sunflower oil from your tin of tuna into a frying pan and heat.
  4. Once heated gently fry your shallots and garlic until softened.
  5. Add your drained tuna to the frying pan and fry gently for 3 minutes.
  6. Add your tinned tomatoes, herbs and a crack of black pepper to the frying pan and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  7. Add your sweetcorn to the pasta and continue to simmer for five minutes before draining.
  8. Return your pasta and sweetcorn mix to the saucepan and pour on the contents of the frying pan.
  9. Mix thoroughly and pour into a casserole dish.
  10. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella across the top and bake for 30 minutes.
Notes
  1. Because we cook this for our small children we omit salt but this could easily be added with the herbs and pepper if required.

    My son won’t eat any pasta other than macaroni cheese – but he loves tuna. So I’m definitely going to give this a try.

    My kids would eat this as they love pasta.As we don’t eat meat etc I haven’t bought tuna in a very long time.I think I’ll put this on the menu for next week so I can have a vegan nut dish.

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
