This simple-to-rustle-up Tuna Pasta Salad with Cherry Tomatoes, from Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast host Giovanna Fletcher, is a kid-friendly – and budget-friendly – dish that can be adapted to children’s tastes. So, if your little ones are not fans of strong flavours, just leave out the onion and swap the rocket for shredded lettuce. Use whatever pasta shapes they like too.Time and servings

- 600 g of cherry vine tomatoes, quartered
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, grated or crushed
- 1 tuna steak in olive oil
- 400 g of farfalle
- 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced

Method
Step 1
Toss the tomatoes with the olive oil and garlic, plus any oil from the tuna; season with a little salt and set aside.Step 2
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water, according to packet instructions. Drain and toss with the tomato mixture while the pasta is still hot, then leave to cool, stirring every so often.Step 3
ust before serving, break the tuna into flakes and fold through the pasta and tomatoes, along with the sliced onion. Finally, fold through the rocket and season with black pepper (although go easy for the kids). Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 1 day – it’s ideal for packed lunches, or why not add it to a picnic spread.
