Cooking Time
90 mins
Serves
4

Ingredients

  • 1 tin of MSC certified sustainable tuna in olive oil
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 cups of elbow macaroni
  • ¼ cups of salted butter
  • ¼ cups of all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsps of Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 cups of whole milk
  • 2 cups of mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • ½ cup of frozen corn
  • ½ cup of frozen peas
  • ½ cup of frozen carrots
  • 1 bag of a crunchy chip of your choice
 

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Bring a medium sized pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the macaroni noodles until they’re very, very tender (15-20 minutes).
  3. In another medium sized pot, melt your butter on low-medium heat and whisk in your flour.
  4. When a nice almond colour begins to develop, add in your Old Bay seasoning and whole milk. Whisk everything together and increase the heat to medium-high. The sauce will begin to thicken.
  5. Once your sauce has thickened, melt in all your cheese. Set aside.
  6. Mix together your cheese sauce, noodles, corn, peas, carrots and tuna into an oven-proof casserole dish.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden.
  8. Remove your casserole from the oven, and crumble your chips on top. Serve hot. 


What is the MSC Blue Fish Label?

 

Horizontal and Vertical MSC Ecolabels in English

 

Each product featuring the MSC blue fish label (pictured above) is:

  • Sustainably Sourced – The stocks are fished in a way that does not threaten the population's long-term health and minimizes the damaging effects of fishing to the surrounding wildlife and ecosystem.
  • Verified – You can feel confident that it is sourced from a fishery that is certified sustainable to the MSC Fisheries Standard.
  • Wild-Caught – The seafood you’re consuming comes from the ocean, lakes, or rivers from wild populations.
