Cheesy tuna pasta bake

My own recipe for a lovely easy meal for a nice quick dinner. Yummy and tasty, serves 4 with leftovers for lunches the next day - yum!

Ingredients

1 Large tin tuna
2 cups dried pasta ( I used penne, but any type will do)
1 onion - chopped finely
1/2 capsicum - chopped finely
1 1/2 cups grated tasty cheese - parmesan would be good
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup milk extra

Method
Cook pasta according to directions, until just al dente and set aside.
Melt butter in saucepan, take off heat and stir in flour. Add milk and cheese, return to heat and stir until thickened.
Remove from heat, add pasta and all other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Scoop into casserole dish, sprinkle with a little extra grated cheese, and bake 180 degrees for about 40 mins or until nice and golden and bubbly. Serve with a lovely salad or vegies.
