Why I Like this Recipe

I love this recipe. The meal is comforting but not heavy, and it’s full of flavour despite using simple pantry ingredients. The tuna adds good protein, the tomatoes keep it fresh and light, and it all comes together quickly, making it perfect for everyday cooking.

Tips and Variations

  • Try whole-wheat tagliatelle if you want more fibre and to feel full longer.
  • Add a pinch of chilli flakes to boost your metabolism.
  • You can swap the tuna for salmon if you want more omega-3s.
  • A spoonful of low-fat natural yoghurt stirred in at the end makes it creamy without adding much fat.
  • Portion leftovers into containers, and you have easy meal prep sorted.
  • A bit of lemon zest at the end brightens up the tomato flavour.

Meal Storage

Let the pasta cool completely, then store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer tips

You can freeze this dish for up to 2 months. I like to freeze it in single portions so it’s easy to reheat when you need it.

Defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat gently on the hob or in the microwave. Add a splash of water if the sauce needs loosening.
