Advantages: Creamy, tasty,

Disadvantages: None

I am a big fan of pasta dishes and forever looking for different pasta dishes. Colmans Tuna Pasta Bake Sauce mix has been used in my family for years and since I've moved into my own house I have continued to buy them.

The sauce mix is a powder mixed that contains a lot of different ingredients; dried tomato, wheat flour, sugar, salt, dried cheese, onion, parsley, garlic, oregano, thyme. One sachet contains enough for four servings. The mix should be blended with 3/4 semi skimmed milk. Basically the mix is a blend of cheese, tomatoes and herbs.

Cook pasta as normal, in a seperate pan bring sauce mix to boil and add tuna and sweetcorn. Simmer for one minute then add drained pasta. Transfer to a heatproof dish, top with grated cheese and crushed crisps. Placce under the grill until golden.

When I use this sauce I always use whole milk as I find it gives the sauce a much thicker and creamier taste. The meal, once finished is really tasty, with the sauce mix it keeps the meal from being dry and in 15 minutes you have a wonderful tasty meal for the whole family. I also usually have garlic bread as a side dish and it all adds to the flavour.

And if you have any left overs this dish can be freezed for another day which saves on waste. I like tuna but every now and again I fancy a pasta bake but dont really fancy tuna so in place of it I quite often throw in come chicken instead. It works just as well, tastes just as nice and is very filling.

The mix is high in calories (504 in a meal), Sugar of 10.3g, Fat 13.1g, Saturates 6.8g and salt 2.07g. All quite high but then its not as if you would have it everyday. I probably have it once a week whether its with tuna or chicken and I really enjoy it. I usually use Schwartz mixes but when it comes to tuna pasta bake I always go for Colmans as the sauce has much more flavour.

The packaging has recently changed now so what you can see in the picture is now incorrect. The packet is now purple but other than that its pretty much the same.

Its definitely a mix worth trying if you like your pasta dishes.
