Ingredients

150 g whole wheat penne (dry)
180 g tuna in its own juice (drained)
100 g red bell pepper (diced)
100 g frozen peas
100 g yellow onion (finely chopped)
30 g spring onions (in fine rings)
1 garlic clove (finely grated)
100 ml low-fat milk (1.5% fat)
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 pinch table salt

Preparation

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions (approx. 16–17 minutes) until al dente. Then drain and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 °C (top/bottom heat). Prepare a large, oven-safe pan or casserole dish. Wash, core, and dice the red bell pepper into small cubes.
3
Heat the rapeseed oil in the pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic for approx. 4–5 minutes. Add the drained tuna, peas, and oregano and fry for another 3–4 minutes. Finally, stir in the spring onions, pour in the milk, and let everything simmer for 2–3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
4
Add the cooked pasta to the tuna-vegetable mixture in the pan and mix well. Place the pan (or transfer the contents to a casserole dish) into the preheated oven and bake at 200 °C for approx. 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot.

Tip

For an extra cheesy crust, you can sprinkle 50 g of grated Emmental or mozzarella over the casserole before baking.

Tipp: Für eine extra käsige Kruste können Sie vor dem Backen 50 g geriebenen Emmentaler oder Mozzarella über den Auflauf streuen. Vollkornnudeln liefern zudem langanhaltende Energie.
