Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion , finely chopped
500g cherry tomatoes , halved
400g dried pasta (we used rigatoni)
1l hot vegetable stock
2 x 110g cans tuna in olive oil, drained
3 tbsp mascarpone
30g parmesan , grated
2 heaped tbsp capers
½ lemon , zested
small bunch parsley , finely chopped

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.

This is not your Mom's tuna casserole! Garlicky, lemony and good! Use oil packed tuna please, it makes a HUGE difference to the flavor. A nice white wine and garlic bread complete the meal.
