Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 300g fusilli
  • 500ml hot vegetable stock (1 stock cube)
  • 100g full-fat soft cheese
  • 2 x 145g tins tuna, drained
  • 200g tin sweetcorn, drained
  • 75g mature Cheddar, grated
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Select Sauté and heat the oil. Cook the onion for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  2. Pour in the stock and scrape up any stuck-on bits from the base of the inner pot; this prevents a Burn notice. Add the pasta and push it under the liquid.

  3. Lock the lid, set the steam release valve to Sealing and select Pressure Cook (High) for 4 minutes.

  4. When the time is up, carefully turn the valve to Venting for a quick release.

  5. Select Sauté and stir in the soft cheese until melted. Add the flaked tuna and sweetcorn and heat for 2 minutes.

  6. Press Cancel, stir in the Cheddar until melted, and season with plenty of black pepper. The sauce will thicken as it stands. Serve.
