Number of servings
2
70g fusilli pasta, dried (or gluten free)
300g broccoli cut into small florets
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbs cornflour
1 tsp onion powder
1⁄4 tsp garlic powder
1 cup (250ml) vegetable stock
1⁄2 cup (125ml) milk, reduced fat (or dairy-free alternative)
130g drained tinned tuna in springwater (185g tin drained tuna yields approx 130g)
salt & pepper, to taste
1⁄4 cup (30g) mozzarella grated
2 tbs panko breadcrumbs (or gluten-free if required)
6 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves stripped (optional)
Preheat oven to 200°C/fan-forced 180°C/gas 6.
Cook pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for half the recommended cooking time.
Add broccoli to the saucepan of pasta and cook for a further 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine cornflour with onion and garlic powder. Stir through sufficient stock to form a smooth paste.
Heat a medium sized non-stick saucepan and heat oil for a minute over low heat. Add cornflour slurry and saute, stirring for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened.
Gradually add remaining stock and milk and cook, stirring continuously, until thickened.
Gently stir sauce through tuna, pasta and broccoli and adjust seasoning.
Transfer to a 20cm baking dish and scatter over mozzarella and breadcrumbs.
Bake mornay for 15 minutes or until golden. Scatter over thyme leaves (if using) to serve.
