Also boil the potato until a bit soft.. Take a baking dish and add in tuna and the baking sauce.. Then add in the boiled pasta and you mix them thoroughly.. Then sprinkle a reasonable amount of mozarella cheese over the well-mixed pasta. The thicker the yummier :). (Oh yeah, before doing that you might wanna pre-heat the oven to 200 deg C).<br /><br />The potato part I got the idea from master chef BB (hehe..). So for this one.. you peel off the skin and cut them to thin slices.. Then you sprinkle some of the McCormick seasoning onto it and place them gracefully on top of the mozarella cheese covering the pasta. So once all of that is done, put it into the pre-heated oven & wait for 15-20 minutes.. or simply just watch out for the cheese to turn to slightly brown in colour..<br /><br />And there you go.. all done!<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);
