Ingredients

  • 250g Essential Penne
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 100ml essential Low Fat Vinaigrette
  • 400g Essential Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 small Essential Red Onion, finely chopped
  • 3 clove/s garlic, crushed
  • 25g pack curly leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ x 20g pack thyme, leaves only, finely chopped
  • 2 x 160g cans Essential Tuna Chunks In Sunflower Oil

Method

  1. Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling, lightly salted water for 12 minutes, or until tender. Heat the coriander in a small saucepan for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Grind, using a pestle and mortar or a small bowl and the end of a rolling pin.

  2. Put the vinaigrette in a bowl and stir in the tomatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme and crushed coriander seeds. Season with plenty of black pepper. Drain the tuna in a sieve resting over a separate bowl to catch the oil.

  3. Drain the pasta and return to the pan with the tuna, tomato mixture and 2 tbsp of the drained oil. Stir well over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes are warmed through and softened but not completely collapsed. Serve in shallow bowls.

Cook’s tip

For a richer sauce, stir in 4 tbsp Essential Double Cream with the tomatoes.
