The Good Grub Club Recipe 2: Tuna and Tomato Pasta Bake

Pupils have really enjoyed cooking Sausage & Bean hotpot this term and have been excited to take the ingredients home to re-create the same recipe!

Our next recipe is Tuna & Tomato pasta bake which, again, is budget friendly, easy to make and provides a good balance of vegetables, protein and carbohydrates. You can substitute the sweetcorn for fresh veggies or other tinned vegetables.

We would LOVE to see what children are making at home so please send any photos through to office@pdp.w-berks.sch.uk

If you’d like to try out this recipe, you can follow the instructions, below.
