Method
- Put the potato slices in a pan and cover with cold water. Simmer for 10-15 mins until just tender but still holding their shape.Drain: set aside to dry. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- Mix the pasta sauce, tuna, butter beans and spring onions in a bowl; season. Don’t overmix or break up the tuna too much, you just want everything to be coated in the sauce. Tip into a medium baking dish (about 15 x 25cm) with enough space to fit the potatoes on top.
- Layer the potatoes over the pie filling, overlapping the slices a little, until completely covered. Brush with the oil and bake for 25-30 mins until golden, crisp and the edges are bubbling. For a really crispy topping, finish under the grill for 5 mins.
- Meanwhile, boil the broccoli for 4-5 mins until tender. Drain well, then serve with the pie.
