Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 190°C / Gas 5. Bring a big pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the packet says.
2

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a saucepan, soften the chopped onion for 4-5 minutes, then stir in the flour. Cook for 1 minute.
3

Gradually whisk in the milk, a splash at a time, until you have a smooth sauce. Simmer until thickened, then stir in two-thirds of the cheese, the mustard and a good grind of pepper.
4

Drain the pasta, return it to the pan and stir through the cheese sauce, the drained tuna and the sweetcorn.
5

Tip everything into a baking dish, scatter over the remaining cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
