Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 yellow peppers
2 green peppers
2 red peppers
18-20 black olives, pitted and halved
150g wholewheat fusilli
1 200g can of tuna steak in oil
freshly grated parmesan and chopped flat leaf parsley to serve.

Steps:

Halve and de-seed the peppers. Place on an oiled baking sheet and cook at 180c/gas mark 6 until the skins have wrinkled and are beginning to blacken. When the peppers have cooled enough to handle, remove the skins and chop into bite size pieces.
Place the peppers in a bowl with the olives.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to which a splash of olive has been added.
Whilst the pasta is cooking, drain the tuna and add to the bowl with the peppers and olives, roughly forking it through.
When the pasta is almost cooked, heat the tuna and pepper mixture through in the microwave for 1/12 - 2 mins, stirring halfway through.
Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Tip the tuna mixture into the pasta and stir to combine.
Divide between 2 warm pasta bowls and scatter with the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle over the parsley.
Serve with garlic bread.
