    Ingredients:
    14 oz (400g) rigatoni pasta
    3 tbsp butter
    1 onion peeled and chopped finely
    1/3 cup (40g) plain/all purpose flour
    2 1/2 cups (600ml) milk
    2 1/2 packed cups (250g) strong cheddar, grated
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp pepper
    11 oz (320g) canned tuna (albacore tuna if possible) drained and flaked

    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.

      @@135Ops There are many recipes where small variations won't matter, there are others where they will. To measure butter by the tbls to me is ridiculous, it is a solid matter and should be weighed.The same with cups, is an Aussie cup the same as an American cup? The weight of anything in cups can vary quite a lot. I am just very appreciative of cooks that give the gram measure along with their own. A big thank you to them.
