Tuna & corn mac - one for the kids

A friend of mine called me today and we had a great catch-up - thanks Dom! We got to chatting about food and specifically about tuna macaroni that she tried but her little ones weren't that keen on. I have an alternative that I recommended which I know my 2 boys really love, the tuna is toned down for their palate and it is so easy. And again so super quick. So I thought I should share it with you. You need the following:
  • Cooked pasta like macaroni, fusilli or penne
  • 1 or 2 tins of tuna in water, drained. It really depends on how much you want to use
  • 1 tin creamed sweetcorn
  • 1 tin sweetcorn, drained
  • 1 cup cream (use reduced fat cream if you like) or use 1 cup of evaporated milk (Nestle Ideal Milk). You could even use ready made cheese sauce.
  •  Half a cup grated cheddar cheese and about a quarter cup grated parmesan (or any other Italian hard cheese). Reserve some of the cheese for sprinkling over the top of the macaroni.
Combine all the above and pour into a caserole dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top of the macaroni. Bake in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes at 180 degrees.
