Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Mix the oil and flour in a saucepan to make a thick paste, then cook over a medium heat for 2-3 mins until thickened and lightly sizzling. Remove from the heat and very gradually whisk in the milk to make a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 2-3 mins until thickened. Remove from the heat, then stir through the crème fraîche, salmon, tuna, spring onions and parsley. Season and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta to pack instructions, adding the broccoli for the last 3-4 mins – both should still have some bite. Drain, reserving 50ml cooking water, then stir the pasta, broccoli and cooking water into the sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to a 20 x 30cm baking dish, scatter over the cheese, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden brown and bubbling. Leave to stand for 5 mins before serving.
