BAKED TUNA AND RICOTTA RIGATONI

This is a great Friday night meal , you can choose the protein , I'm using tinned tuna . Preheat your oven to 180 deg C . Spray an ovenproof dish with cooking oil . Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil , add 500gm of ragatoni pasta ( pasta tubes , not cannelloni )and 1 dsp of oil . Boil the ragatoni until tender , drain and cool enough to handle . While the pasta is cooling mix 200gm can of flaked tuna drained with 1 cup of ricotta cheese and 1 tbs of minced garlic , to form a soft paste . Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and fill each ragatoni , arrange the filled pasta tubes side by side in the prepared dish and give alight spray of cooking oil . now prepare the sauce , mix 1/2 cup of cream with 2 cups of grated and refrigerated parmesan cheese , season with cracked pepper . Spoon the sauce over the filled rigatoni and top with sliced capsicums in a criss cross fashion . Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes . Serve hot with a side salad if required .
