Tuna tomato bake - 5 points (per half)
Serves 2
2 points worth of cooked pasta (I use spirals)
1 tub of low fat plain cottage cheese
2 medium eggs
1 tin of tuna in brine, drained
1 tin chopped tomatoes, drained
1 onion, chopped
Mix the cottage cheese and eggs together then add the tuna, onion and tomatoes.
Place the pasta into a baking dish (a flan size dish is best) then pour the mixture over the top.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes on Gas Mark 6/200°C/400°F (or until it starts to turn colour on the top).
It's nice to eat warm or cold. Enjoy!

700g unpeeled potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
4 x 175g cod fillets
2 tbsp plain white flour

Rinse the fish fillets, pat dry with kitchen paper and coat in seasoned flour.
