PREPARATION<\/strong><\/mark>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chop the cherry tomatoes into 4 quarters and set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Once the water comes to a boil, add 1 Tbsp sea salt, quickly stir and allow to dissolve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Add the fusilli pasta and set the timer for the time indicated on the packet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Heat approx. 5 Tbsp of EVOO in the saucepan on medium heat and add 1-2 Tbsp of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Add the crushed garlic and stir. Let it cook over medium heat until it becomes golden, then add cherry tomatoes and mix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. While the cherry tomatoes and garlic are simmering, crush the whole peeled tomatoes then use the tomato crusher to crush the cherry tomatoes as they simmer too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Next, add the capers, crushed peeled tomatoes and stir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Add the tuna, breaking it down into small pieces and stir to allow it to meld with the flavours of the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Add a generous amount of chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of salt, and pepper. Continue to stir the sauce while breaking up the tuna chunks as much as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Once the pasta is cooked, strain the pasta and add it to the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Reserve a mug of pasta water and add a portion to the sauce and pasta. Stir the mixture for a minute then turn off the heat and give the pasta a toss until all the ingredients combine well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Scoop the desired amount of tuna pasta onto a plate, top with some fresh parsley, a sprinkle of chilli flakes\u2026 and eat up!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

      Vincenzo's tip<\/strong><\/mark>
      Look for pasta that\u2019s slow-dried at low temperatures. It holds sauces better and gives a better eating experience.<\/p>\n\n\n
