I had it for dinner today!

Mine is Pasta, Tuna, a tin of Campbells Condensed Tomato Soup, frozen peas and sweetcorn, breadcrumbs and grated cheese.

Mostly cook the pasta, Add tuna, soup, frozen veg. Top with breadcrumbs (just wizz bread in mixer) and cheese. Finish off in the oven. Yumm!

I am interested to see what In debts recipe is? I for some reason don't cook with tuna. I'm not sure I like it warm in food?

Just for your info, there is a thread about different uses for tuna!

It is nice even on toast with some chopped onion. Tuna and cheese toasties used to be good too!

• Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
• Meanwhile, put the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and heat gently. Add the tin of tomatoes, grated carrot, onion and garlic and cook until the onion has softened.
• Add the tomato puree and sweetcorn and cook for five minutes.
