INGREDIENTS 200g corn kernels 3 tomatoes, cubed 2 tins tuna in brine 600g rigatoni 50g butter 50g plain flour 600ml milk 250g strong cheddar, grated large handful chopped parsley Method Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Boil the pasta for 2 mins less time than stated on the pack. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook for 1 min, then gradually stir in the milk to make a thick white sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in all but a handful of cheese. Drain the pasta, mix with the white sauce, tuna, sweetcorn and parsley, then season. Transfer to a baking dish and top with the rest of the grated cheese. Bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese on top is golden and starting to brown.

Perfect for feeding the masses and one can make them ahead; eat it with you hands and not a single dish or pan or utensil to be washed. These bread rolls are baked wrapped in foil. The only kitchen equipment you’ll use is a knife to cut the top off the rolls. Cut the top of the roll off and scoop out the middle to create a hollow. Line the hollow with bacon. Make sure the bread bowls are properly lined with bacon (free range please) to stop the egg from leaking through the bread.  Crack an egg (free range) and pour into hollow. Top with grated Cheddar cheese or Mozzarella - I refer Mozzarella. Put the top back on and wrap with foil, then leave them in the fridge until you need them.  Pop them in the oven ... et voila! A great way to use stale or not-so-fresh bread rolls. It’s also great for on the go!  Great food for camping trips - Just place them on the edge of the fire near (not on) hot coals. The foil traps the heat well and it will cook in ...
