Prep time

Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Parmesan: 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- Olive Oil: 1 tsp olive oil
- Pepper: 1 red and 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
- Tomato: 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
- Pasta: 250g wholemeal pasta shapes
- Olive: 50g mixed pitted olives, whole or roughly chopped (optional)
- Chilli: pinch crushed dried chillies
- Tuna Steak: 2 x 200g cans tuna steak in spring water, drained and flaked
- Caster Sugar: pinch caster sugar
- Breadcrumb: 25g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the peppers for about 5 mins until starting to caramelise. Add the garlic and chillies, cook for 30 secs, then tip in the tomatoes and olives (if using). Season, add a pinch of sugar, bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Heat the grill. Drain the pasta and mix into the tomato sauce, along with the tuna. Tip into a large ovenproof dish. Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan together and scatter over the top. Grill for 3-4 mins or until the topping is crisp and golden. Serve with a green salad, if you like.
