Curried Tuna Sweetcorn Sauce Recipes

CREAMY TUNA PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/350f.
• Boil a large pan of water, add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes.
• Whilst the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan, add in the onion and cook on low for 6-8 minutes until the onions are very soft.
• Turn up the heat to medium and stir in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the milk, using a whisk to stir (just stir, don't whisk) it in.
• Once all the milk is incorporated, continue to heat whilst stirring until the sauce thickens. Then stir in 2/3 of the cheese until melted. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Drain the pasta and pour into a 20x30cm baking dish. Pour over the white sauce, then add the tuna, sweetcorn and petit pois.
• Mix together, then sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until the cheese is golden brown. Top with a sprinkling of parsley before serving.

CURRIED TUNA & SWEETCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop the onion, and soften it in the butter with the curry powder.

• Dissolve the cornflour in a little of the milk, then add all of the milk and the cornflour-milk mixture to the contents of the saucepan. Beat rapidly with a wooden spoon.
• Return the pan to the heat, and bring to the boil, stirring constantly.
• When the sauce is bubbling and thickened, stir in the lemon juice and coriander/parsley, then season with salt and pepper.
• Serve hot, with rice or pasta or toast or baked potatoes.
