From Good Taste magazine, this has become my favourite tuna mornay recipe. It is slightly fiddly but worth it! Great when the orange tree is covered in fruit. Australian measurements (1 cup = 250g, 1T=20ml). Reduced fat ingredients can be used.

This was a good way to use a tin of tuna (as opposed to a regular "tuna pasta bake"). The parsley and orange rind gave the mornay a lovely taste, I think next time though I might reduce the orange juice down slightly, just personal preference. Thank you for posting, made for Aus/Kiwi Recipe Swap June 2009.Reply
