Instructions
Step 1
Cook pasta in a medium-sized pan following packet directions. Add broccoli to pan in the last 3-4 minutes of cooking. Drain. Preheat grill to high. Spray a 6-cup-capacity ovenproof baking dish with oil.
Step 2
Melt spread in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add flour, garlic and chilli flakes. Stir until mixture thickens and bubbles.
Step 3
Remove from heat and gradually whisk in milk. Return to heat and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Add tuna and tomatoes to pan then stir in pasta and broccoli. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with mozzarella. Grill for 4-5 minutes or until cheese has browned and melted. Top with basil (if using) and serve with rocket and dressing.
Variations
- Make it vegetarian: Replace tuna with 100g reduced-fat ricotta cheese and add some red capsicum strips for extra flavour.
