Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the peppers for about 5 mins until starting to caramelise. Add the garlic and chillies, cook for 30 secs, then tip in the tomatoes and olives (if using). Season, add a pinch of sugar, bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Heat the grill. Drain the pasta and mix into the tomato sauce, along with the tuna. Tip into a large ovenproof dish. Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan together and scatter over the top. Grill for 3-4 mins or until the topping is crisp and golden. Serve with a green salad, if you like.

MAKE IT VEGGIE: SPICY PEPPER PASTA GRATIN

Fry an extra red and yellow pepper as before, and add an extra 1-2 pinches chilli flakes to the sauce. Stir in 1 tbsp drained capers instead of the tuna with the pasta, and top with the breadcrumbs mixed with 2 tbsp grated Parmesan and 1 tbsp pine nuts.

Very tasty and easy meal, cheap too if you leave out the olives.

Tasty easy meal that all the family enjoy. I double the olives as there’s hardly any as per the recipe, is nice with just extra mature cheddar if you don’t have Parmesan.

Easy mid week meal - had leftovers for lunch the next day cold

Thanks to earlier suggestions added red onion and anchovies and omitted the breadcrumbs as I didn't have any and the result was delicious. Easy to make and would do again.

it's a easy and very good recipe! I suggest buy the ingredients on the web-site www.italiagroceries.com. where you can do shopping on-line of originally and typically Italian products! I've buy many things, they are honesty. Italian cuisine is the best cuisine in the world!
