QUICK TUNA NOODLE BAKE...Love this recipe...So tasty! From South African Cookery writer Ina Paarman.
This variation of macaroni cheese makes a perfect light meal or a starter that can be made in advance. Use a combo your favourite packet soup mixes...ie; white onion, creamy mushroom & chicken noodle (I just mix and match) Serves: 3-4 as a main course, 6 as a starter
200g pasta of your choice, cooked 1 x 185 g tin tuna in oil 30 g butter 2 sticks celery, with leaves, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped, or 1/2 green and 1/2 red pepper 2 large onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced 1 tin mushroom or asparagus soup 250 ml (1cup) milk 250 ml (1cup) grated Cheddar cheese 60 ml (1/4 cup) freshly chopped parsley Salt & pepper Extra grated cheese for topping
Preheat oven to 180 deg C Drain the oil from the tuna into a saucepan. Sauté the onion, celery and green pepper in the tuna oil and butter until soft and slightly golden. Add the tin of soup. Add the milk and over medium heat; stir until the mixture comes to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the flaked tuna, grated cheese, parsley and cooked pasta. Season to taste. Transfer to an ovenware dish. Top with extra grated cheese. Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 20 - 30 minutes. Place under the grill to brown the cheese.

TIP: I take all 3 packets soup powders.. (Royco Chicken Noodle, White onion soup & a cream of mushroom soup) weight of each packet soup 50 grams. I empty all 3 packets into a large jar & shake. Use it to flavor soups, stews etc... Tip: Always purchase, try out any new instant soup mixes that come on market. Really does do justice to your dishes once you are able to find a good combination that you can put together. Sometimes I also add a bit of flour depending what I am cooking
