  • 1pink skimmed milk
  • 2tbs light margerine
  • 2tbsp plain flour
  • 1tsp French mustard
  • 60g reduced fat Cheddar cheese, or similar (grated)

Method
  • Add 200g pasta to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes
  • In a separate pan, add the butter and melt over a low heat
  • Slowly add the rest of the milk
  • Add the flour to the butter along with a drop of the milk and stir until smooth
  • Add the parsley, pepper and mustard and cook until thickened
  • Add the soft cheese to the milk sauce
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain it and our it into an oven dish
  • Sprinkle the drained tuna over the pasta and pour the cheesy sauce over the pasta
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top
  • Cook in a pre-heated fan oven at 160C for 20 minutes or a standard oven at 180C for 20 minutes
