Proudly supported by

Try adding a 180g tub drained and chopped marinated and char-grilled eggplant for added flavour. Any shaped pasta can be used
in this dish.

Ingredients

375g penne rigate

2 x 185g cans tuna with roasted capsicum and three beans

2 medium zucchini (220g), trimmed, thinly sliced

400g jar tomato and ricotta pasta sauce

60g bag baby spinach leaves

Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Cook pasta in a large stockpot of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain, reserving 1⁄2 cup of the cooking liquid. Cover pasta to keep warm.

  2. Place undrained tuna, zucchini, pasta sauce and reserved cooking liquid in the same stockpot over a medium to high heat. Stir for about 4 minutes, or until zucchini are tender.

  3. Return pasta to stockpot with spinach. Stir over heat until spinach is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
