Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 6 min.

Boil 1 cup pasta, taking care not to overcook it, then drain.

Salt, pepper and cook for 1 minute without colouring.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Add 0 kg cream and ½ cup tuna in oil, mix well and bring to the boil. Leave to thicken slightly.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Tip the pasta back into the pan, mix well and leave to heat through for 1 or 2 minutes. That's all there is to it!

Remarks

If the pasta is cooked more than 5 minutes before serving, drizzle a little olive oil over before mixing to keep it from sticking together.
