Quick and Easy Tuna Pasta Bake image

This is a super quick and easy recipe I made for my seven young children out of whatever I could find in my cupboard one evening! I'd say normally it'd serve 4 adults or up to 6 children. It's on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tuna

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

11 ounces penne pasta
1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained
4 tablespoons spaghetti sauce with meat
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch dried Italian herbs, or to taste
⅔ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dry bread crumbs, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return penne to the pot.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Mix tuna, spaghetti sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs into the drained penne. Pour penne mixture into an oven-proof dish. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and breadcrumbs are crispy, about 5 minutes.
