Featuring tuna, this six-ingredient pasta is a quick and easy meal - and it goes down swimmingly! Canned tuna is so commonplace you might think it's crazy to make your own. OK, so call this tuna “conserved” instead. It’s not just a change of names. It’s incredibly easy to make and when you’re done, you can use it in all kinds of dishes, from a salad with white beans and arugula to this Tuna and cherry tomato pasta.

2 cans Tuna in chilli oil, drained, flaked
