“Good lord, for a moment I thought you were going to suggest he join us for  
supper,” Lauren muttered, but Jon heard and grinned at her.  
“Oh, no, my love – this is strictly an evening for two.” And leaving that promise  
sizzling on the air between them, he went out into the night.  
Tuna Temptation – a cheese'n'tuna pasta dish for two  
Ingredients:  
About 5 ounces of pasta quills or elbow macaroni

1
3
tin of tuna chunks in brine, well drained  
oz (or 2 T) butter  
oz (or 2 T) plain flour  
00 ml (or 1-¼ cups) whole milk  
½
tsp American mustard  
115 g (or 4 oz) grated cheese for sauce  
0 g (or 2 oz) grated cheese for topping  
5
Thinly sliced tomato  
Instructions:  
Cook pasta according to packet directions.  
Place the butter in a medium sized microwave bowl and microwave on high (750 watt  
oven) for 30 seconds until melted. Stir in the flourand add the milk, whisking gently.  
Microwave again on high for 3 to 4 minutes, whisking gently several times during the  
cooking process. Let stand in the warm microwave for another minute, then whisk in the  
mustard and fold in the 4 oz of grated cheese.  
Drain the pasta well and place in a medium sized ovenproof dish. Add the drained tuna,  
mixing it in with the pasta. Pour the cheese sauce over and mix with a spoon. Lay the  
thinly sliced tomatoes over the top, and sprinkle on the remaining grated cheese.Bake in a  
medium oven for about 30 minutes or until the cheese topping is bubbly and beginning to  
brown. Do not overcook or the pasta will become hard on top.  
This one-dish mean can be served with salad and garlic bread. Covered, it keeps well in  
the refrigerator for 24 hours, and can be quickly heated up the day after preparation for a  
meal when you've got better things to do than cook!
