Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 6 min.

Boil 400 g pasta, taking care not to overcook it, then drain.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Use the same pan as for the pasta, rinse it out and put on medium heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and when good and hot, add 1 shallot, finely sliced.

Salt, pepper and cook for 1 minute without colouring.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Add 150 g cream and 200 g 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.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
