Ingredients:

11/2 cups cooked basmati rice

1 cup canned or frozen corn kernels

1x185g can tuna in spring water, drained, flaked

1/2 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese

1 egg

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1. Crank your oven up to 180’C or 160’C fan forced. Combine the rice in a large bowl with the corn and tuna, give it a good mix and season with salt and pepper.
2. Scrape the rice mixture into a 4-cup (1 litre) capacity baking dish. In the same bowl, combine the ricotta, egg and parmesan and beat with a fork until smooth. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the rice.
3. Bake for 15 minutes or until the rice is warmed through and the top is golden and bubbling. Rice will keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
