Tuna and Pepper Pasta

Method

• step 1

  Halve and de-seed the peppers. Place on an oiled baking sheet and cook at 180c/gas mark 6 until the skins have wrinkled and are beginning to blacken. When the peppers have cooled enough to handle, remove the skins and chop into bite size pieces.

• step 2

  Place the peppers in a bowl with the olives.

• step 3

  Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to which a splash of olive has been added.

• step 4

  Whilst the pasta is cooking, drain the tuna and add to the bowl with the peppers and olives, roughly forking it through.

• step 5

  When the pasta is almost cooked, heat the tuna and pepper mixture through in the microwave for 1/12 - 2 mins, stirring halfway through.

• step 6

  Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Tip the tuna mixture into the pasta and stir to combine.

• step 7

  Divide between 2 warm pasta bowls and scatter with the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle over the parsley.

• step 8

  Serve with garlic bread.
