Method

Based on 6 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Add the butter to a medium size saucepan and allow it to melt over a low heat. Add the flour and mix to a paste. Gradually add the milk while whisking, allowing the mixture to boil. and thicken until you have a smooth white sauce. Remove from the heat, add the mustard, most of the cheese (save a handful for the top), peas and parsley.

Step 2

Meanwhile, boil the pasta in a large pan of water following pack instructions until just cooked. Drain.

Step 3

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the pasta into the sauce and add half the fish, stir everything together then tip into a large baking dish. Top with the rest of the fish, pushing it into the pasta a little, then scatter with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 mins until golden, then serve with salad, if you like.
