Method
Preparation
For the Pasta
- Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Cook your pasta as per the packet instructions - this will vary according to the variety and brand, but will typically take around 15-20 minutes for wholegrain.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the onion, garlic and chilli 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the tomatoes, capers, lemon rind and tuna. Cook staking the pan for 1-2 minutes until warmed through, taking care to leave chunks of tuna.
- Once the pasta is cooked, strain and add to the sauce. Toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce
- Add the rocket, cook until just wilted. Serve sprinkled with the parsley, a grind of black pepper and lemon wedges.
- This dish is best eaten immediately so the rocket is just wilted. If you’re not a rocket fan, you can substitute spinach
