60g butter
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 cups milk
2 cups of grated cheese
1 large tin of tuna in springwater
1 large tin of creamed corn
1 brown onion, diced and cooked
Cracked black pepper
Dash of tomato & worcesteshire sauce
Your choice of pasta (spirals, penne or shells work well)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Melt butter over low heat in a medium-large saucepan. Add plain flour and stir until foaming. Gradually add in milk, stirring regularly. Once the mixture thickens a bit and comes up to a gentle simmer, add in 1 & 1/2 cups of grated cheese. This is your base mixture. Drain can of tuna and flake with a fork. Add tuna, creamed corn and cooked onion to the mix. Stir well and cook through. Add a splash of tomato and/or worcesteshire sauce (this is my Nan's secret to the recipe!) Add cracked pepper (and salt if you wish but it usually doesn't need it.) You can add peas or other veg if you like too. Cook pasta and drain. Layer the bottom of a large baking dish with the cooked pasta (only 2-3 cms high if that). Pour the mornay mix over the pasta, gently shake the dish to help the mix settle. Sprinkle over breadcrumbs and remainder of grated cheese. Bake at 180 degress for 20-30 mins or until top is golden & nice.
This quantity allows me to fill a baking dish that is probably 8-10 cup capacity, and we could feed 6-8 people easily. So you could feed a family & guests, or put some in the freezer too.
