Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams canned tuna
- 285 grams canned sweet corn
- 250 grams pasta (penne, fusilli, or shells)
- 300 ml cream of mushroom soup
- 120 ml milk
- 150 grams grated cheddar cheese
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), canned sweet corn (drained), cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl and gently toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy tuna mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they are golden and toasted, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the cheese layer, then sprinkle with parsley if using.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
