Method
-
Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain. Return to pan. Cover to keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, melt butter in a stockpot over a medium heat. Add onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add simmer soup. Cook, stirring for 30 seconds.
-
Gradually add milk to pot, stirring until combined. Bring to boil. Gently boil, stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
-
Add pasta, capsicum, corn and half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Gently stir through tuna. Transfer to a greased, large ovenproof dish (10-cup capacity). Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
-
Cook in a very hot oven (220C) for about 12 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown. Remove from heat.
-
Serve with salad leaves.
TIP! Any short-shaped pasta can be used. If you prefer a strong curry flavour, add 1 tablespoon curry powder with the simmer soup.
