Method

In a pan over a medium heat add a little olive oil then fry down the onions and the garlic until they are soft and caramelised. Next add the tomato paste, anchovies (if using) the 3 x teaspoons of the spices from your spice pouch, peas and the tomatoes. Stir well.

Now, add the tuna and lemon juice to the pan and stir to blend all the flavours.

Meanwhile, add the fusilli pasta to a pot of boiling salted water and cook to the directions on the pack. When cooked transfer the pasta directly to the tuna pan leaving some of the pasta water clinging to the pasta.

To preserve the flavours of the pasta water do not strain the pasta. Serve directly to the tuna pan.

Add the option of chopped flat leaf parsley as a sprinkle, if you wish
