"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 2 / 5 secondsDrain the Pasta and pour it into the baking tray. Use a fork the roughly break down the Tuna Chunks so they are fairly even and pour the contents into the tray with the Pasta.
Place the oil/onion/vegetable mixture in with the tuna and pasta, and finally 1/2 of the grated cheese as well. Mix it all together with a large spoon so that the contents are evenly distributed.
Mix the remainding Cheese with the Corn Flake Crumbs together and spred on top of the Tuna Pasta. Sprinkle with Paprika (optional).

Tip
* You can use the pasta of your choice, I prefer Gluten Free, Spelt Pasta or Wholemeal.
* Feel free to substitute chicken for tuna or peas for both or either of the green vegetables.
* I always make double this recipe as I have a large family and a large Bessimer deep dish. To do this, simply prep all ingredients as necessary, remembering to do the cheese in a few batches so as to not overload your machine. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

No problem. Just use your favourite cooking oil instead. Some coconut oils have a defined taste so I use good quality organic cold pressed coconut oil. Thanks for your comment
Thought this was Nice
however personal choice I didn't like the taste of the coconut in the dish and think it would be better with just olive oil, which I will try next time.
yummm!! my kids asked for seconds...even the fussy one! def make again
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm so happy it's also one of your favourites. It's often the meal I know I can make alot of food with and the ingredients aren't too difficult to have on hand!
Most definitely you could freeze this. Especially good if you do make the double batch!
Could you freeze this?
This is definitely one of my favourites. I've made it numerous times. Thanks for sharing!
yummo!
made with tonight with fresh tomato and it was Yummy. Kids loved it and I loved it.
I always used canned (chopped) tomatoes but you can certainly use fresh ones. I have tweaked this recipe today so you are welcome to try the new easier version if you like
I've tweaked the recipe so there are now 4 leaves of spinach or kale. It is just the actual leaf of a silverbeet or a kale stalk with the leaf. I tend to just remove the stem altogether. You can also substitute with baby spinach leaves or any green vegetable you like
Sorry about the delay in response. I had actually no idea anybody had tried my recipe at all!
