RECIPE TIPS
A DIFFERENT PASTA SHAPE

Match your sauce with a suitable pasta shape. Smooth pastas, such as spaghetti and linguine, go best with light, thin sauces; pastas with holes or ridges, such as fusilli and penne, are better for chunkier sauces.

Perfect recipe when I'm out of inspiration and cupboard/fridge is empty lol. I often throw peas in with pasta too. Delicious!

Lovely as is, but even more so with a squeeze of lemon added just before serving. I'll also second the recommendation for using tuna in oil rather than in water.

Really lovely! Definitely needs a bit of lemon juice though!

I love this recipe. I have made it twice. The first time I followed the recipe exactly and it was lovely. The second time I also added a handful of halved cherry tomatoes and they went very well too. I think though that tuna in oil goes better than the one in water which I tried the second time…
