tasty tuna pasta bake

hrmmmppffftttt i don't think this photo does this recipe justice. this is a staple recipe we make every second week because it goes down well with my boys - tuna TICK, vegies TICK and a colourful amass of rainbow pasta shapes TICK. Of course you dont have to use rainbow coloured pasta, 1 cup of macaroni suffices (and thats what the original recipe called for but we always tweak recipes in our home)

this pasta bake makes 6 serves HOWEVER they are large LARGE serves, its great for lunch, leftovers and for husbands taking to dinner when working shift work,
