Method

  • step 1

    Heat the reserved oil from the tuna in a very large saucepan. Tip in the tomatoes plus 200ml water and simmer while you cook the pasta, following pack instructions. Add the broccoli for the final 3 mins, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water.

  • step 2

    Heat the grill. Stir the soft cheese into the tomato sauce until melted, then mix with the pasta, broccoli and drained tuna, along with a little of the reserved cooking water if the sauce looks a bit thick. Season with salt and pepper.

  • step 3

    Tip into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle on the cheddar and crumbs. Grill, not too close to the heat, for about 4-6 mins until golden and bubbling. Serve with a big side salad, if you like.

Use this recipe alot but I add some dried herbs to the tomatoes while cooking like thyme, basil and oregano. Normally just eat it on its own for a work lunch ad microwaves well

You didn't include salt in the ingredients? I added a Knorr fish stock cube which did the trick. Also a splash or two of cab sauv.

Made this today. I left out the breadcrumb topping and just used the cheddar as I didn’t fancy a crunchy top. Really nice dish, I really enjoyed it. Recipe makes a massive portion which I’ll freeze for another day.

Did it freeze OK? :)

A lovely easy recipe. Used frozen broccoli and did not have cream cheese but still delicious.
