Instructions

Step 2

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a large baking dish with a little extra virgin olive oil.

Step 3

Cook the pasta according to packet instructions, and set aside. Finely chop the spring onions and set aside as well.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Place in a blender or food processor with the milk, garlic powder, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Place cooked pasta, all of the vegetables, tuna and spring onion in the baking dish. Make sure tuna is flaked through rather than being in really large chunks. Pour over the milk mixture and add in half of the cheese. Stir everything together and then arrange evenly in the baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the cheese is all melted and the top of the pasta bake is turning crispy and golden.
