Ingredients: 

 For a family of 4 you will need:

300-400g spaghetti / linguine / tagliatelle - use wheat/gluten free if required.

400-500g of tuna in olive oil (if you can't find this then use the tuna with water and add a little olive oil)

Grated zest and juice of 2 lemons

50g fresh basil

 

optional extras (depending on your families dietary restrictions):

2 teaspoons capers

a handful of pine nuts or sliced almonds

chilli flakes to sprinkle on top

cherry tomatoes cut in half

chopped olives

 

 

 

 

 

Method: 

1) Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook according to pack instructions.

2) whilst the pasta cooks, drain the tuna and reserve the oil. Flake up the fish and add the lemon zest, the juice, the basil (and the capers, nuts or other optional extras if using them). 

3) Toss the pasta with the tuna mixture and add 4 tablespoons of the reserved oil. Garnish with a few bits of the basil.

You can add anything to this dish really - try sweet peppers or sweetcorn.
