Super Simple Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake

Ingredients
(Metric - US Customary)

• 300g fusilli pasta (or any preferred pasta shape like penne or rigatoni)
• 290g tuna chunks in brine or spring water (2 x 145g tins, drained)
• 165g full-fat cream cheese (Philadelphia is recommended)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) / gas mark 7 / 425°F.
2. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. For best results, slightly undercook it since it will cook further in the oven. Drain well and return to the pan.
3. Mix in the tuna, cream cheese, sweetcorn, HALF the grated cheddar, Dijon mustard (if using), and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
4. Transfer the pasta mixture into a shallow ovenproof dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar on top.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
6. Serve on its own or with a green salad or garlic bread.
