just stumbled on your video for this recipe yesterday. You are a breath of fresh air! I usually have to mute it to avoid hearing all the irrelevant stuff but yours was concise, to the point, clear, and easy to follow. So glad I found your channel. Looking forward to making thnis tuna pasta bake.

I LOVE channels that not only add a recipe link, but LIST the recipe as well! Makes it easy to reference while making the recipe ;)

I often find when making a cheese sauce for Fish Pie, Pasta Bakes even Lasagna etc that just a teaspoon of mustard added to the sauce really gives a flavourful boost. Of course it’s up to the individual.

Not only does it taste really good but it's super affordable and most of the ingredients you would already have in your cupboard. Love this recipe

[eggsonlegs]

This recipe is easy to follow and great to eat but can we just take a moment to appreciate that fantastic oven door!?

[kaipiee]

I tried this and thought the onions give it so much flavour😮 it's a great staple for something cheap and accessible ❤

[dawnjohnson]

I just made it in a Dutch oven — so only one pot. Love that I can do that. Love how it tastes. Thank you!

[Joseph-eqod]

Thank you for making the temperatures and measurements very clear for us! So many "expert chefs" just say add a splash of this a tosh of that and leaves me confused, this is much better

[gadders]

[hughjass]

Fantastic! Only change I'd make would be to add bread crumbs, panko, or something similar. That's what my mom did when she made this stuff.

My Husband went crazy for this dinner. I made a huge dish full which was probably enough for at least 4 servings. I had a portion and he demolished the rest!. Think it was a success👍 Thank you.
