Description

A hit with adults and kids. Full of flavour and lots of hidden vegetables!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 bunch parsley
  • 50g corn kernels
  • 1 carrot, roughly chopped
  • 1 zucchini, roughly chopped
  • 70g broccoli florets, roughly chopped
  • 10g oil
  • 500g milk
  • 50g butter
  • 50g plain flour
  • 1 tabs vegetable stock concentrate
  • 70g grated cheese
  • 50g grated cheese, additional
  • 425g tin of Tuna
  • Pepper, optional
  • 350400g pasta

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
  2. Cook pasta according to packet directions on the stove or microwave.
  3. Place all vegetables and parsley in bowl.
  4. Blitz on speed 8 for 5 seconds. Scrape down.
  5. Add oil. Cook at 100 degrees on speed 1 for 4 minutes.
  6. Add butter, milk, flour and stock concentrate.
  7. Cook at 90 degrees on speed 4 for 7 minutes.
  8. (If you want a thicker sauce, remove the veg and cook the béchamel sauce separately. Add veggies back into bowl with the tuna etc. I do it all in one as it isn’t a huge difference).
  9. Add the 70g cheese, pepper if desired and tuna.
  10. Cook at 90 degrees on reverse, speed 4 for 4 minutes.
  11. Mix tuna sauce with pasta in an oven safe dish. Top with cheese.
  12. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is golden.

Notes

  • If you feel you have too much sauce you can freeze the extra. This depends on how “saucy” you like your pasta.
