½ tsp English mustard powder (optional)
freshly ground black pepper

Cook the pasta in boiling water for 5 minutes, add the broccoli then return to the boil and cook for 4 - 5 minutes until just tender then drain.

Flake the tuna into an ovenproof dish.

Place the margarine, flour and milk in a pan, heat gently until the margarine has melted.

Increase the heat and stir continuously until the sauce boils and thickens.

Simmer for 2-3 minutes, remove from the heat and add half of the cheese and the mustard powder (if used).
