Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 340g Canned tuna in springwater
  • 340g Dry penne
  • 1 head Broccoli
  • 220ml Milk
  • 110g Shredded tasty cheese
  • 2 cloves Garlic

Method

  1. Prep the ingredients Set out tuna, pasta, broccoli, milk, cheese and garlic. Wash, trim, and chop broccoli and garlic before heating the pan. Drain tuna. Measure milk and cheese.
  2. Cook the pasta Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the penne for the time on the packet until just tender. Scoop out 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
  3. Cook the base Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add two tablespoons of water. Cook broccoli and garlic for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until softened. Stir the tuna into the pan for 2-3 minutes until hot through.
  4. Make the sauce Stir in milk and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced. Keep the heat moderate so the milk does not split.
  5. Combine Fold the penne through the sauce with 2-4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water.
  6. Finish Take the pan off the heat and stir through all the cheese until melted.
  7. Serve Divide into bowls while it is still hot.
