Ingredients

  • 2 yellow peppers
  • 2 green peppers
  • 2 red peppers
  • 18-20 black olives, pitted and halved
  • 150g wholewheat fusilli
  • 1 200g can of tuna steak in oil
  • freshly grated parmesan and chopped flat leaf parsley to serve.

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.
