In this recipe Lynton from My Market Kitchen has ‘pimped up’ the average Tuna Bake with the addition of some Spice People spices. The inclusion of Ground Clove compliments the tuna so well and just a sprinkling of Sweet Paprika on top takes this dish to the next level and adds a little point of difference.

This simple mid-week dish can be put together in the time it takes to boil the pasta and is sure to satisfy the hungry hordes; all whilst not breaking the bank!

Ingredients

  • 1 packet penne (or another pasta of your choice)
  • 40g plain flour
  • 40g butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 500ml milk
  • 1/4 tsp The Spice People’s Ground Clove
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • large tin of tuna in spring water
  • 2 tsp The Spice People’s Sweet Paprika
  • 2 packets penne (or another pasta of your choice)
  • 80g plain flour
  • 80g butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1000ml milk
  • 1/2 tsp The Spice People’s Ground Clove
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 heads of cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 large tins of tuna in spring water
  • 4 tsp The Spice People’s Sweet Paprika

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. With 4 minutes to go add the cauliflower florets and drain with the pasta, set aside. Reserve a cup of the cooking liquid.
  3. Melt the butter in a pot, once the butter is bubbling add the flour and cook while continually stirring for 4-5 minutes before adding the garlic and clove powder and cooking for a further 1-2 minutes. While whisking slowly pour in the milk and continue to cook and whisk for a further 5-6 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Add the pasta, tuna and cauliflower to the mix and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper before adding to a baking dish large enough to hold it all. Top the mix with the remaining cheese and dust with paprika before baking for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is golden brown.
