  This is a easy and tasty standby. Have made this quite a few times now when I just don't know what to cook, or we have got in late.

  Just made this - extremely quick and very tasty - it doesn't look that apetising when you first put it together but the end result is a delicious quick meal! I used dried chilli flakes instead of fresh chillis and it turned out just as well.

  I've made something very similar to this using a carton of passata. I essentially follow the above recipe (but without tomatoes) and I put in the passata last. Its a very easy and quick dish and tastes lovely. Also add some halved black olives- that sets it off nicely!

  this went down well in the slave kitchens of chateaux daddachef. try using tuna in spring water, then add sea salt and black pepper to taste. a use of mixed olives also adds flavour. finally leave in the chilli seeds for a warm satisfying afterglow!

  Simple, quick and tasty. We also added some halved green olives and used canned chopped tomatoes because we didn't have any fresh ones in.

  This has become a standard regular meal in our house and hubby and 2 year old live it and we always have 3 clean plates scratching for more! We amended the above slightly: we use fresh tuna cut into chunks; tinned tomatoes, a large red onion, and always have Parmesan on top, it's delightful and so tasty you wouldn't believe it's so good for you!! It's always best with a fresh chilli but dried chilli flakes are a more than acceptable replacement if we haven't got any fresh ones in. Fab dinner! :-)
