150g penne
200g can tuna steak in olive oil
2 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Nonpareille Capers, drained and rinsed
1 tsp Cooks’ Ingredients Italian Seasoning
370g can Duchy Organic Butter Beans
1 tsp white or red wine vinegar
¼ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves chopped (optional)

Cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, tip the oil from the tuna can into a large frying pan. Dry the capers on a sheet of kitchen paper and add to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes until sizzling, then stir in the Italian seasoning.
Add the beans and their water and cook gently for 3-4 minutes, breaking some of the beans down a little, until heated through.
Flake in the tuna and warm gently. Add the vinegar, check the seasoning, then remove from the heat.
Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of cooking water, then return to the pan. Add the tuna and beans and gently mix together. Add some reserved pasta water to loosen if needed. Divide between 2 bowls and add a good grind of black pepper and the parsley, if using, then serve.
