Tuna and Sundried Tomato Pasta Bake recipe by Cherrypick

An easy storecupboard supper that can be out of the oven and on the dinner table in 25 minutes. Cheap, cheerful and a brilliant addition to any midweek repertoire.

Method

Based on 6 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the grill to its highest setting and put a large saucepan of salted water on to boil. Tip in the pasta and cook for 1 min less than the pack suggests.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the sauce by simmering the tomatoes in a pan with a little seasoning and the thyme for about 5 mins. Pour in the cream, stir and simmer for another 4-5 mins.

Step 3

Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water, and tip back into the saucepan. Pour over the creamy tomato sauce, the sundried tomatoes, sweetcorn and tuna. Layer into a baking dish (ours was 22 x 29cm), scattering over the grated cheddar between layers. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top and put under the grill for 5 mins until bubbling and golden.
