This is a real simple way of making tuna mornay. The kids love it and it's better than buying a jar of already made sauce because there are no preservatives and you know what's going into this sauce.

4 tablespoons plain flour
1 cup milk
¹⁄₂ teaspoon mixed herbs
salt
pepper
¹⁄₄ teaspoon mild paprika
1 (425 g) can canned tuna, drained and flaked

directions

Preheat oven to 180°Celsius.
Cook pasta and let it drain.
Melt butter and stir in flour.
Gently add in milk, then take off of heat when its of a saucy consistency.
Sometimes I have to add more or less milk or flour depending on outcome of consistency.
Add in salt, pepper, paprika, mixed herbs, and tuna; mix together.
Put pasta in a large dish (I normally have enough for two dishes), then pour sauce over. Mix the sauce through the pasta until it's thoroughly combined.
Sprinkle grated cheese over the top; put in the oven for 20 minutes on 180 degrees c until cheese is melted and golden.

Quick, easy and nice - although I can't help feeling it might have benefited from the addition of some veggies - maybe even just a small can of corn kernels?

We had this last night and this was such a hit that my DSF requested the leftovers for tonight's dinner. That has NEVER happened!!

Quick, easy and very tasty. I had to use more milk to get my sauce the right consistency. I also added some chopped green onion for some colour, and substituted lemon pepper for the salt and pepper, because I'm a real fan of lemon pepper :)
