Ingredients

180 g tuna in its own juice (drained)
150 g whole wheat penne pasta (dry)
100 ml whole milk 3.5% fat
100 g red bell pepper (diced)
100 g yellow onion (finely chopped)
100 g frozen peas
30 g spring onion (finely sliced)
1 clove garlic (finely grated)
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 pinch fine iodized table salt

Preparation

1
First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water boils, add the whole wheat penne and cook al dente for approx. 16–17 minutes. Then drain the pasta.
2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200–205 °C top/bottom heat and prepare a large, oven-safe pan or casserole dish. Wash the red bell pepper, core it, and cut it into small cubes.
3
Heat rapeseed oil in the pan over medium heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic until translucent for approx. 4–5 minutes. Then add the drained tuna, peas, and oregano and roast 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 everything to a casserole dish) into the preheated oven and bake until golden brown for approx. 20–25 minutes. Remove from the oven, portion, and serve hot.

Tip

For an extra spicy note, you can sprinkle some grated mountain cheese over the casserole before baking.
