Ingredients
- 85g wholewheat penne
- frozen spinach, once thawed and squeezed it should be around 185-200g, roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 1 tsp smoked paprika, plus an extra pinch to serve
- 6 pitted green olives, sliced into rings

- 1 tsp rapeseed oil
For the salad
- 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 2 tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
- 20g feta
- a few thyme leaves, to serve (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
First, for the salad, put the red onion and lemon juice in a bowl and scrunch together using your hands. Set aside for the onions to soften.
- STEP 2
Meanwhile boil the penne for 12 mins, or following pack instructions, until tender. Drain and cool under running cold water, then drain again thoroughly. Tip into a bowl and mix with the spinach, garlic, paprika, olives and eggs. Fold in the tuna.
- STEP 3
Heat the oil in a 20cm non-stick frying pan. Tip in the spinach and egg mixture, then cook covered over a gentle heat for about 10 mins until set. Turn out onto a plate and slide back into the pan to cook the other side for 5 mins. Serve topped with the red onions, tomatoes and crumbled feta, and sprinkle with a little extra paprika and thyme, if you like. Cut into wedges to serve.
