Tuna-and-fennel pasta

Serves 2 - 3

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 x 170 g can light meat tuna chunks, drained
1 large or 2 medium fennel bulbs
2 - 3 T olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1⁄2 cup stock (vegetable, chicken or fish)
1⁄2 cup cream
Lemon juice, a squeeze
250 g spaghetti, cooked
Italian parsley, finely chopped, for sprinkling
Parmesan, grated, for serving

Method

Separate the tuna into large flakes and set aside. Cut the fennel in half, then slice thinly into half-moons.

Gently cook in the oil until very soft and limp. Stir in the garlic, tuna and a little seasoning. Pour in the stock and cream and bring to a bubble. Add the lemon juice.

Stir in the drained, hot pasta and check the seasoning. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately. Pass around the Parmesan at the table.

Cook's note: This pasta is totally effortless and rewarding. The distinctive anise-like flavour of the fennel becomes more mellow as it cooks and marries perfectly with the salty tuna.
