CHEAT'S TUNA & SWEETCORN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the white ends from the spring onions and slice them in half lengthways. Finely chop the green tops. Tip the butter, flour, mustard and milk into a non-stick pan with seasoning, and whisk over the heat until the mixture thickens to make a sauce. Add the whites of the onion and cook for a few mins, stirring until they start to soften. Stir in the sweetcorn and tuna.
• Heat the tortillas following pack instructions. Divide the mixture between the tortillas and roll up like pancakes. Arrange the pancakes in a large, buttered ovenproof dish as you roll them. Mix the cheese with the onion tops, sprinkle over the pancakes and bake for 25 mins until bubbling hot.

CHEESY TUNA MORNAY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually mix in milk so that no lumps form. Stir constantly until the mixture boils, then mix in half of the cheese. Add the peas, corn and macaroni. Drain the tuna, leaving a small amount of liquid to keep it moist. Flake with a fork and stir into the cheese mixture. Transfer to a casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until sauce is bubbly and cheese is browned.
