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

Method
- STEP 1Halve 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 2Place the peppers in a bowl with the olives.
- STEP 3Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to which a splash of olive has been added.
- STEP 4Whilst the pasta is cooking, drain the tuna and add to the bowl with the peppers and olives, roughly forking it through.
- STEP 5When the pasta is almost cooked, heat the tuna and pepper mixture through in the microwave for 1/12 - 2 mins, stirring halfway through.
- STEP 6Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Tip the tuna mixture into the pasta and stir to combine.
- STEP 7Divide between 2 warm pasta bowls and scatter with the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle over the parsley.
- STEP 8Serve with garlic bread.
