The most amazing canned tuna pasta!
Instructions
Prep:10minCook:15min
Recipe video above. One of the pantry-pasta greats. I love this recipe because it really showcases what great food you can make using canned tuna! Fabulous flavour beyond just canned tuna thanks to the anchovies, the freshness of lemon and tangy capers. The oil from the can of tuna is used as the sauce so don't be tempted to use tuna in brine!
