'Cheesy' Tuna Mornay

The 'cheese' sauce in this bake is totally dairy free and can be used in so many of your fave dishes. We actually think it tastes better than the real thing!

We opted out of using pasta like the traditional recipe and loaded it up with veggies! So good!

Tip: Change the vegetables up with whatever you like, if grains are not an issue for you corn would be lovely!
