Ingredients

10 total
  • 320g wholewheat spaghetti
  • 200g tin tuna steak in olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 50g pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
  • 320g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 pinch chilli flakes (optional)
  • 4 handfuls rocket
  • 1 handful parmesan shavings (optional)

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Boil the spaghetti in salted water for 1 min less than the pack instructions.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil from the tin of tuna in a large pan. Add the shallots, garlic, capers and olives; fry over medium-high heat for 3 mins. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 5 mins (approx.) until starting to burst. Flake in the tuna; season with black pepper and the chilli flakes (if using). Mix well.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the spaghetti, reserving a small mug of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the tuna pan with a splash of the reserved water. Toss over high heat for 1 min until combined and coated, adding a little more water to loosen if needed.

  4. Step 4

    Divide between plates, then top with the rocket and parmesan shavings (if using).
