Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C and put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the pasta. Remove the root and dark green top from the leek, halve lengthways and thinly slice into half moons.
Chop the broccoli into small florets (little trees) and then chop your chives as small as you can (or use scissors if it's easier).
Once the water is boiling, add the penne to the pan. When it has been cooking for 3 mins, add the broccoli and cook for another 4 mins. When both the pasta and broccoli are cooked, drain into a colander and pop them back into the pan. Mix in half the butter and season with a good pinch of salt and a generous grind of pepper. Keep to one side.
While your pasta cooks, heat another large saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining butter. When the butter has melted, add the chopped leek and cook for 4-5 mins or until softened. Stir occasionally. Season generously with pepper and then stir in the crème fraîche. Add the stock powder and stir to dissolve. Add the fish pie mix and stir gently to make sure all the fish is coated in the sauce.
Transfer the creamy fish mix to an ovenproof dish. Spread the pasta and broccoli on top, sprinkle over the cheese and bake for 15 mins. TIP: If it looks like the pasta is becoming too brown, simply cover it with foil for the last 5 mins.
When the seafood pasta bake is golden on top remove it from your oven and leave it to sit for a minute or two. Sprinkle on the chopped chives and spoon into bowls. Enjoy!
