Summery Meal (with fish, so it must be brain food!)

Apr 20, 2009 in Cook

Here is a simple, easy cook meal, ready in 10 minutes, and not very expensive either!

  • Pasta for however many people - your choice of shape (fusilli, papardelle, taglietelle, whatever).
  • 185g or 160g tin of tuna per 2 people
  • 100-200g white cup mushrooms per 2 people
  • 100g rocket leaves
  • 1 lemon for up to 2 tins of tuna
  • 1 clove garlic for up to 2 tins of tuna
  • Olive oil
  • Blackpepper
  • Salt

To cook:

  1. Put the pasta on to boil.
  2. Zest and juice the lemon (Microplane Graters are great for zesting, they’re my favourite cooking gadget!)
  3. Put 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, medium heat.
  4. Mince/chop garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add sliced/chopped/ripped/whole mushrooms (your choice, but remember that the larger the pieces, the longer they take to cook!)
  6. Fry for further 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add tuna, rocket, zest and juice of lemon.
  8. Fry for further 1-2 minutes.
  9. Season to taste.
  10. Serve, with chilled white wine (unless revising after your meal, obviously!)
