ITALIAN TUNA PASTA BAKE



Italian Tuna Pasta Bake image

This is definitely not your grandmother's tuna casserole. Rotini pasta, tomatoes, spinach and a rich, cheesy white sauce update this classic, and prove irresistible. You can also bake this in individual ramekins and freeze so it can be reheated for a quick, personal meal. Recipe is from Disney's Family Fun website.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (270 g) canned tuna (drain)
2 (800 g) cans chopped tomatoes (do not drain)
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon garlic granules
2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
4 cups pasta shells (cooked al dente)
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a fairly large pan (preferably a wok) and add the onion until it softens. About 2-3 minutes. Then add the tuna and sauté for another 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, Italian herb seasoning, oregano, garlic granules and salt & pepper to taste.
  • Simmer for about 15 minutes-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened stirring from time to time.
  • While the sauce is simmering, heat the oven at 200 degrees or 180 for fan-assisted ovens. And cooked the pasta shells 2 minutes less than the directed time on the packet. It needs to be a little bit tougher as it still needs to be cooked in the oven. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Drain and set aside.
  • When the sauce has thickened add the chopped fresh basil and the drained pasta shells and stir until thoroughly mix.
  • Transfer into an oven-proof dish and topped with grated cheddar and mozzarella. Bake for another 20- 25 minutes or until the cheese on top has turned golden brown.
  • ENJOY!
