Notes
1. Tuna – Don’t get too hung up on tuna quantity here, the recipe can take a little more or a little less. I use 3 x 95g/3.5 oz cans, the small “lunch size” cans. You just want enough tuna to serve 2 people.
If you only have tuna in brine, use 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil instead.
2. Anchovies add great flavour here. Substitute with 1 tsp anchovy paste. If you don’t have either, it’s still worth making if you’re using tuna in oil as the oil has good flavour too!
3. Chilli flakes add just a background hum of warmth in this recipe. Feel free to dial it up or down.
4. Leftovers will keep for 2 days in the fridge though pasta never really reheats well, especially these types of pasta that don’t come with loads of tomato or creamy sauce. Microwave reheating is best, with a splash of water (or better yet, keep some pasta cooking water!)
