1. Prepare the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium pan. Toss in 2 tbsp of the parsley, the garlic, chilli and ginger and fry for a few minutes until slightly soft. Tip in the tomatoes and cook for another few minutes. Fold in the tuna and season the sauce generously. Leave the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Boil the pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes, or as directed on the pack. Drain, then return to the pan. Pour the tuna sauce into the pasta and toss well. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley, divide between four bowls and serve.

'Very impressive, a real Italian treat - the fresh flavours made it feel like summer. Perfect for a Monday night to chase away the workday blues.'

  A really good weeknight meal - we always add a couple of handfuls of cherry tomatotoes to the sauce right at the end of the cooking time, so that heta up enough to still remain in one peice but burst with juice when you spear them with a fork

  Quick, easy & delicious. Had a real kick to it. I added the tomatoes as suggested above which were lovely. Also added some chopped red peppers at the same time as the tuna which worked well. Would definitely cook again.

  My mum made me this - it was lovely. The fresh ginger gives it a real 'zing'. Any left over sauce would be great with cold pasta for lunch the next day. Thanks Mum!

  A very tasty dish, one of the best things you can do with canned tuna. I use the oil from the cans of tuna rather than extra olive oil to saute the garlic mix at the beginning. It's good for a mid-week meal.

  This was delicious, I've just made it as a quick meal for one. Yummy! The only addition was a squeeze of lemon before serving up. Shall make it often!
