Description:
Hearty comfort food minis~

Ingredients (makes 3):
1/2 can of tuna chunks in water, flaked (~70g)
1/2 celery stick, diced
2 tbsp frozen mixed veggies
1/4 C cilantro, finely chopped
1 tbsp miracle whip
1 tbsp milk
Dash of pepper
60 g wholewheat spaghetti, broken into 3 parts each
1 1/2 tbsp of chopped walnuts
2 slices processed cheese, cut into 3 parts each

Directions:
1) Cook spaghetti till al dente, and blanch mixed veggies in the pasta liquid. Remove veggies and drain the liquid. Divide pasta into 3 small individual aluminium cups or ramekins.
2) Combine tuna, celery, mixed veggies, cilantro, miracle whip, milk and pepper together.
3) Spoon the tuna mixture into each cup, top with chopped walnuts and cover the cups with aluminium foil.
4) Place in a toaster and toast for 10 min or bake in an oven at 190 deg.
5) Unveil the aluminium foil and top with cheese before putting back into the toaster/oven.
6) Serve once the cheese is bubbly and slightly burnt.

Remarks:
Once again, no complaints from Mum and Bro. For me, I found it rather interesting: crunchy walnuts with cheesy topping, rich creamy tuna middle, and nutty spaghetti strands bottom. Can't really imagine the taste till you have had your share of these cute minis!

I should be going green using ramekins instead:
