Notes
1. Vegeta is a brand of vegetable stock powder / seasoning / granulated bouillon. It’s salt with flavour. Sold in the herb & spice aisle of everyday grocery stores. See in this post for other recipes using Vegeta and other ways to use it, as well as about scientifically proven MSG misconceptions!!
Substitute with any brand chicken or vegetable stock powder (aka granulated bouillon) OR 2 cubes, crumbled.
2. Spices – even if you have just one of these, it will be great! Or sub garlic with more onion, or vice versa. Switch mustard powder with a teaspoon of fresh.
3. Vegetables – can sub with frozen peas. If using other vegetables like carrot, broccoli etc that need to be cooked, steam or boil them separately before adding otherwise they probably won’t cook during the bake time.
Could also stir in spinach leaves or shredded kale. Or sub some of the pasta with more veg!
4. Leftovers – Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, reheat in microwave.
Make ahead / freezing:Make sauce then place lid on and it cool until lukewarm. Add 1/4 cup extra water or milk, mix with pasta, tuna and corn, pour into baking dish, sprinkle with topping. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze then thaw and bake per recipe.
