I have another quick recipe for tuna that my family call Pantry Tuna Dish. Sounds dreadful, but it's delicious!
1 x can tuna in spring water, drained, reserve juice
1 x 450g can corn
1 x 450g can spaghetti
500ml white sauce made in TMX, using reserved tuna liquid
Mix all together, top with cheese and breadcrumbs and bake for 20 minutes or so until bubbling. I also add lemon pepper and lemon juice for extra 'zing'.

JD - I love this recipe. I've served it over rice, made it as a pie with a potato topping or just eaten it as a tuna mornay. I've used canned spaghetti or this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=13242.0) recipe if I have some in the freezer. I usually make it in individual ramekins and freeze them for a quick meal.
Curly66 - I make a cheat of my mums best curried tuna and spaghetti that is my childhood favorite.. She's spends about 45 minutes making it with pots and pans. I boil the kettle, put half a bag of macaroni into the thermo server and leave until done. I make a cheesy, lots of curry powder and lemon juice white sauce in the thermie, after chopping onion and garlic first. By the time that's done I chuck in the tuna including juice and just let it mix a bit and then bung all a casserole dish and mix, add cheese on top and put in pre heated oven until golden and bubbly.. Takes no time at all and no standing there stirring!

I have just moved this recipe from a thread called Challenge #5 - 4 ingredients or less where MJ posted this recipe. I was browsing for something last night and came across this recipe so though it deserved a place of it's own as I have just made it for lunch and a few more meals down the track :-)) Mum can have the little ones.
It really is very tasty and the kids should love it, well not just the kids, I loved it too. Served on rice. Thanks MJ, you'll probably be surprised to see the recipe here ;D
-
Yes, JD, I am! It's best served on it's own with lots of lemon juice and lemon pepper. I wouldn't serve it with rice as it already has the starch of the tinned spaghetti in it.
It's my FIL's favourite meal.

sounds good MJ. :)

Made this recipe into pot pies with a mashed potato topping today.

Has Mum seen you make it curly? It would be an eye opener for her for sure ;D

Curly that sounds rather nice. I never cease to be amazed at how quickly the thermomix does things for us.

No sadly.. I'm nursing her through terminal cancer which although she's a 26 year 2 time survivor, this 3rd time it's a matter of time.. I've taken a lot of my appliances down there to make it easier for me to cook, I just cannot deal with pots and pans anymore, can't believe I haven't lugged thermie down yet because when I have some home time I want it here too...LOL
-
Sorry to hear about Mum Curly but at the same time it's lovely to know that you're there for her when she needs you. Sending kind thoughts to you both.
-
I'm sorry too Curly to hear about your Mum.Sending best wishes and kind thoughts to you both.
-
Thank you both.. I'm off this morning again. Keen to take thermie now, she is fascinated by it..!!

Made this for the freezer again but this time I used a packet cheese sauce (it makes 250 mls) as I wanted to test it for a friend who wouldn't make her own sauce. I worked out that the calorie count using the packet sauce is just under 200 calories per serve so it's a good one for the 5:2 fast day.

A good one Judy.
