Method

  1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, then drain, saving a mug of the pasta water.
  2. Tip the cottage cheese into a large bowl. Add the drained tuna, Parmesan, gochujang, garlic powder, onion granules, gochugaru and a splash of pasta water. Mix everything well until creamy. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, season with salt and pepper, and stir again.
  3. Add the cooked pasta to the bowl and mix until coated.
  4. Tip the pasta mix into an ovenproof dish. Grate the cheddar and scatter it over the top.
  5. Slide the dish under a hot grill for 5-10 mins until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
  6. Finish with torn fresh basil and an extra squeeze of lemon, if you like.
