Tuna pasta bake is the perfect dinner meal that everyone at the table is guaranteed to love. This luxurious meal can be prepared on those busy weeknights and is a classic meal that everyone adores. This tuna pasta bake recipe is a whole meal in itself, with the addition of bell peppers for your daily intake of vegetables and the tuna to fulfill your protein needs.

Use fresh tuna or canned tuna, regardless this meal is sure to please. A cheese pasta bake with cheese oozing through it and also topped with a generous portion of mozzarella. Serve alongside some healthy green salads to complete your meal!

Look no further you have found your next dinner recipe. Tuna pasta bake is a comfort food that is pretty much loved by everyone. I love all things pasta whether it’s chicken pasta or this delicious tuna pasta bake.

Who doesn’t have a can of tuna and a packet of pasta lying in their pantry? This makes the perfect recipe for everyone. There’s no need to run to the store panicking about missing ingredients because you are basically guaranteed to have them.

You can add other vegetables to this tuna pasta bake. My personal favourite is bell peppers and if you haven’t gathered already, I love to use them in pretty much everything. I even created a capsicum curry recipe dedicated to my love for this vegetable and Indian cuisine!

If you have an oven-proof pan that you can also use on the stovetop, then I would recommend using it. It will save time and means that there is less mess and dishes to wash at the end. This is the perfect tomato tuna pasta bake recipe for a quick and delicious dinner.
