Tuna and Mushroom Pasta Bake Recipe
Yes another Pasta Bake Recipe, this time it’s the Tuna and Mushroom Pasta Bake Recipe. This one is also five years old and one of many in the collection. I must have had a thing about Pasta Bakes five years ago. This one would be great for Vegetarians too. Just check that all of the ingredients are in fact suitable for Vegetarians and you’re off and running. This recipe is fairly easy to prepare and bake. You don’t even need the oven for this one, just put it under the grill. Again it’s ideal for getting the vegetables into the little ones and can be chopped and changed to suit what you have on hand. Please Enjoy!
