Some things just belong together! Like tuna and cheese, which together make a great combination. You already know the “tuna melt sandwich” of course. That is a nice thick sandwich with tuna salad and cheddar cheese. But certainly also in this pasta dish with tuna and cheese. We make the cheese sauce from scratch. That too is nothing more and nothing less than a béchamel sauce with a lot of cheese processed in it. And then we pour it over the pasta and tuna and put it in the oven for a while. pasta dish oven
In this pasta dish recipe I used sea lavender. You can buy this at your fishmonger, but it is also increasingly available at the supermarket on the fish shelf. If you really can't find it, use some samphire. Be careful with salt, because it comes from the sea and is therefore salt in itself.

Pasta dish with tuna and cheese
There has been a lot of talk about tuna for a while now. That is why I always opt for a can of tuna with a quality mark. I've written a blog about that before and it's you read here. You also get the recipe for an insanely delicious tuna sandwich in that blog. This pasta dish recipe is ideal for a weekday.

It doesn't take a lot of time, and when it's in the oven you can go through the day together. With a nice wine for example! For this pasta dish with tuna and cheese I used very large pasta shells. But you can also use macaroni or other types of pasta for this.

Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
