Ingredients
- 300 g penne pasta (or other short pasta)
- 300 g canned tuna, drained
- 150 g frozen peas
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 120 ml milk
- 200 g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 100 g corn chips, lightly crushed
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a large baking dish with a small amount of butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, mix together the canned cream of mushroom soup and milk in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Add the drained tuna, frozen peas, cooked pasta, 150g of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Step 5
Transfer the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed corn chips with the remaining 50g of shredded cheddar cheese and melted butter. Toss to ensure the chips are evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the corn chip mixture over the pasta bake to form a crunchy topping.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the topping is golden, and the pasta bake is bubbling around the edges.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Tuna Pasta Bake with Corn Chip Crunchy Topping!
