Sun Dried Tomato Spinach Tuna Pasta Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Put the pasta into a saucepan and pour over one tablespoon of chosen oil to stop the pasta from clumping together. Add the vegetable stock cube to the boiling water and stir until dissolved then pour the water over the pasta and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta until just undercooked and drain the pasta water, saving about a cupful of the water for the sauce.
• Into the pan of cooked pasta, add the tin of tomatoes, the tuna, the butter, crushed garlic, paprika, salt and pepper to taste and chili flakes. Stir and bring to a simmer to finish cooking the pasta.
• Add the pasta water saved previously and stir in whilst still simmering, then add the cheese in and stir this in. Simmer until the cheese has melted and then serve, adding more cheese, black pepper and chili flakes if needed.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to its highest setting and put a large saucepan of salted water on to boil. Tip in the pasta and cook for 1 min less than the pack suggests.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce by simmering the tomatoes in a pan with a little seasoning and the thyme for about 5 mins. Pour in the cream, stir and simmer for another 4-5 mins.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water, and tip back into the saucepan. Pour over the creamy tomato sauce, the sundried tomatoes, sweetcorn and tuna. Layer into a baking dish (ours was 22 x 29cm), scattering over the grated cheddar between layers. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top and put under the grill for 5 mins until bubbling and golden.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While this is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and carrots and saute uncovered, until somewhat softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, lower the heat, cover and simmer until carrots and onions are completely tender, 10 minutes more.Add the pasta to the water and cook for about 10 minutes or until al dente. While pasta is cooking, add tuna, capers and olives to the skillet and saute for a couple of minutes or until tuna is just cooked through. Season to taste with red pepper and taste for salt. Drain pasta, and return it to the pot with parsley; toss until well blended. Spoon pasta into warm pasta bowls and top with tuna sauce.Serve immediately.
