Ingredients

  • Rigatoni or another type of short pasta 350g
  • Rio Mare Tuna with Lemon and Black Pepper 3 x 80g cans
  • Courgettes 700g
  • Garlic 1 clove
  • Extra-vergin olive oil 40g
  • Fresh basil A large handful
  • Salt to taste

Process

1. Bring a pot of water to the boil, adding the salt when the water has reached boiling point.

2. Wash the courgettes, cut in half lengthwise and slice finely.

3. Crush the unpeeled clove of garlic with the blade of a knife so it gives off a more delicate flavour during the cooking process and sauté in a frying pan with the olive oil.

4. Add the courgettes to the sautéed garlic and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently until the courgettes are golden brown.

5. Pour the pasta into the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, then drain.

6. Add the tuna to the courgettes, pour in the drained pasta and sauté until the pasta has absorbed the sauce.

7. Garnish with the fresh basil leaves and serve.
