Ingredients

Main Ingredients

½ x 170g Just Essentials by Asda Garlic Bread

500g Asda Wholewheat Fusilli Pasta

1 Yellow pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped

1 Red pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped

1 large courgette (about 150g), halved lengthways and sliced

400g tin Asda Chopped Tomatoes

2 x 145g tins Asda Skipjack Tuna Chunks in Spring Water, drained

From your store cupboard

½ tbsp Olive oil

1 Low-salt vegetable stock cube

Method

1
Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, reserving 250ml of the pasta water.
2
Meanwhile, tear the garlic bread into chunks and pulse in a food processor to rough breadcrumbs. Toast in a frying pan on medium heat for 4–5 mins until golden. Set aside.
3
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the peppers and courgette over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until they start to soften, about 6–8 mins.
4
Dissolve the stock cube into the reserved pasta water, add to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes and stir to combine.
5
Stir the tuna into the sauce and bubble for 2 mins more to heat through, before tossing with the drained pasta and topping with the garlic breadcrumbs.
6
Any leftovers will store well in the fridge in an airtight container for two days. Serve the pasta with the extra garlic bread on the side, if you like.
