Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion , finely chopped
  • 500g cherry tomatoes , halved
  • 400g dried pasta (we used rigatoni)
  • 1l hot vegetable stock
  • 2 x 110g cans tuna in olive oil, drained
  • 3 tbsp mascarpone
  • 30g parmesan , grated
  • 2 heaped tbsp capers
  • ½ lemon , zested
  • small bunch parsley , finely chopped

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry gently for 7 mins or until softened and turning translucent. Add 350g of the tomatoes, the pasta and veg stock to the pan and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 mins, uncovered, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes should have broken down and the pasta will be just cooked.

  • STEP 2

    Add the remaining tomatoes and bubble uncovered on a medium-high heat for 5 mins or until the liquid has reduced. Gently fold through large flakes of tuna, the mascarpone, parmesan, capers, lemon zest and parsley as well as salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Place a lid on the pan and leave to sit for 5 mins before serving in deep bowls.
