Ingredients
- 140 g Spaghetti
- 80 g frozen peas
- 110 g tuna canned; drained
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil finely chopped
- 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper
- 20 kalamata olives halved
- 5 sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon juice only
- 0.5 teaspoon red chilli flakes Optional to serve
Instructions
- Add 140 g Spaghetti to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 12 minutes. 5 minutes before the pasta is ready, add 80 g Frozen peas.
- Drain and spaghetti and peas and put back in the pan with 110 g Tuna, 2 tablespoon Fresh basil, 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper, 20 Kalamata olives, 5 Sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoon Olive oil, juice of 1 Lemon and 0.5 teaspoon Red chilli flakes.
- Stir well and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can swap the spaghetti for any other type of pasta.
- We topped ours with shredded Parmesan, however you could use cheddar, goats cheese or feta.
- This pasta dish is topped with fresh chopped basil, however you could use parsley, dill or chives.
- You can make this dish even creamier by swapping the pasta water for some cream or creme fraiche.
- A few capers stirred in to this add so much flavour.
- Use tuna in olive oil for the best flavour. Tuna in water doesn't tend to have as much flavour.
- Add some spice with a sprinkle of red chilli flakes before serving.
