Method

  1. Heat the reserved oil from the tuna in a very large saucepan. Tip in the tomatoes plus 200ml water and simmer while you cook the pasta, following pack instructions. Add the broccoli for the final 3 mins, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water.
  2. Heat the grill. Stir the soft cheese into the tomato sauce until melted, then mix with the pasta, broccoli and drained tuna, along with a little of the reserved cooking water if the sauce looks a bit thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Tip into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle on the cheddar and crumbs. Grill, not too close to the heat, for about 4-6 mins until golden and bubbling. Serve with a big side salad, if you like.

    Really easy to make and tastes great too. I will be making this again as a staple in my weekly menu!

    I made this last week, as 4 out of 5 nights we have to eat early and rush off to an activity. It was very simple to make, i used frozen broccoli, as i had some in freezer, i did not drain my can of diced tomatoes, so did not add extra water. My husband and I loved it, the 4 kids on the other hand, not so much...I think they're just biased as to anything with green in it. It made a lovely big batch and we got 2 nights worth of meals out of it, but for me it was an effort to get kids to eat it. so i probably won't be making again. this would be a good dish to make for someone who just had a baby or is unwell.

    I blended the tomatoes to make a smooth sauce which became creamy when the cheese was added. Next time I think I will use Passatta. It reheats well in the oven; I made it the day before I needed it and reheated it in the oven. We thought it served 4 really good portions.
