Tuna and bacon pasta bake. You can also put in individual dishes if people are eating at different times. I have frozen this and it was nice. Ingredients:
8 slices of best back bacon |
300 g pasta, shapes any |
25 g butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons plain flour |
200 ml vegetable stock |
200 ml milk |
2 (185 g) cans chunk tuna, drained |
75 g cheddar cheese, grated |
50 g fresh breadcrumbs |
salt and pepper |
mixed herbs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 190c.
2. In a big pan cook the pasta as per packet with lightly salted water.
3. Melt the butter and oil in a saucepan and to it add the bacon chopped into pieces. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 2 more minutes; remove from the heat.
4. Gradually stir in the stock and milk, then return to the heat and cook, gently stirring all the time until the sauce thickens; season to taste.
5. Place the now cooked pasta in a shallow oven-proof dish and scatter the tuna on top. Toss lightly; pour over the sauce.
6. MMx together the breadcrumbs and grated cheese and scatter over the top. Add herbs either fresh or dried-less if using dried.
7. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
