Ingredients:

Serving

400 g dried penne pasta
1/2 brown onion
1/2 red pepper
1 tbsp oil
100 g chopped spinach
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (or any other you like )
1 (400 g) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (400 g) can tuna, drained
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, extra
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (can omit)

Directions:

Cook pasta and set aside.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius (~375 degrees F).
Very finely chop onion and red pepper.
Heat oil in small saucepan on low heat. Add onion and cook on low heat for 1-2 minutes or until soft. Place chopped red pepper and cook for further 2-3 minutes, ensuring heat remains low as not to burn the onion and pepper. Take off heat.
In another saucepan, melt butter and add flour to make a roux. Slowly add milk until creamy and there are no lumps. Add cheese and stir well.
Slowly add creamy mushroom soup to the cheesy sauce, again ensuring no lumps form.
Add onion, pepper, tuna and spinach to sauce and stir until warm.
In a large bowl mix pasta and sauce together.
Pour pasta into casserole dish and top with breadcrumbs and cheddar cheese.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese has melted.
