Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry gently for 7 mins or until softened and turning translucent. Add 350g of the tomatoes, the pasta and veg stock to the pan and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 mins, uncovered, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes should have broken down and the pasta will be just cooked.

  • step 2

    Add the remaining tomatoes and bubble uncovered on a medium-high heat for 5 mins or until the liquid has reduced. Gently fold through large flakes of tuna, the mascarpone, parmesan, capers, lemon zest and parsley as well as salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Place a lid on the pan and leave to sit for 5 mins before serving in deep bowls.

(2) instead of 1l veg stock added 1 veg stock cube dissolved in about 200ml of boiling water and added that to the pasta/tomato/onion pan.…

The end result was good but I cooked the pasta separately. It only took 10 mins to cook. I really cannot understand how you can cook 400 g of pasta in a liter of liquid and leaving it to cook for that long. I mixed everything at the end including a bit of cooking cream which removed the acidity

My family (two adults and two little ones) all really liked this. I can't understand the comments saying it had no flavour.... Although a lot of the flavour is tomatoes, so in winter I imagine it might fall flat. For us it's fresh and tasty. I added more zest and some juice of the lemon to make it…

Made this as had all ingredients and thought all the family would like as apart from capers no controversial ingredients! (Oh apart from tomatoes, 'creamy stuff' and parmesan). Definitely a success as no complaints when I made it again! Probably cook pasta a little less next time. Good, easy mid…

I would agree with the previous comment by Tbrod, it was very bland and to me no flavour at all. Felt it could do with a bit of harissa paste or chipotle paste to give it a bit of oomph. Thankfully my husband is eating his way through it, not for me, will never make again. A shame as it could be…
