Comforting and reasonably cheap pasta combo all the family love.

 

 

Cook pasta in lightly salted boiling water until just al dente.  While the pasta is cooking, heat sunflower oil in pan and cook onion and mushrooms gently to  soften and brown mushrooms.  Season and reserve.  Drain pasta and return to pan.  Stir in drained tuna chunks, mascarpone cheese,  mushrooms, onions and parsley.  Season and stir to coat everything and heat through.  Spoon into a flameproof dish.  Sprinkle top with cheese and brown under a hot grill till bubbling.
