[elleroo]

does anyone have any tips on how to make a really good tuna pasta bake? something appealing to kids. also, any suggestions on what to serve with it apart from salad?

Cook the pasta, make a white sauce from butter, milk and flour.

Put a tin of tuna and a tin of sweetcorn (add frozen peas if you want) into a baking dish and cover with cooked pasta and sauce.

Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and oven bake for 30 minutes, serve with garlic bread.

Of course this is a simple recipe, you can experiment with adding different spices etc.

(sorry about having no quantities, I just guess and fire it all in!)

...or easier still, cook pasta until half cooked, use and tin of campbells mushroom soup, tin of tuna and tin of sweetcorn/black olives, to make the sauce, pour over half cooked pasta and top with cheese. bake for 20mins. yummy.

for kids you could use alphabet or animal pasta and if you make them in individual dishes you could put their initials on top with grated cheese

How about this - not a tuna pasta bake, but in my opinion it is very delicious - and very quick.

 

Mix together a tin of tuna, a handful of chopped flat leaf parsley, a clove or two of garlic and olive oil, season and set to one side.

 

Cook the pasta as you normally would, and a couple of mins before it is al dente, heat the tuna mix in a wok or frying pan.

 

When the pasta is ready, throw it in to the frying pan/wok and mix together: when mixed, tear apart a ball of mozzarella, throw it in and stir until it becomes 'stringy'.

 

Serve on heated plates with some garlic bread.

All your recipes sound delicious, and I (now) realise there are quicker ways than mine, messing about making a roux sauce and all. Sometimes it'd suit me to cook pasta a few hours ahead of using it, say in a bake. What can I do to stop it sticking to itself in the meantime? I've tried all that with the oil in the water, and it hasn't worked.
