David's Tuna Pasta with a Sundried Tomato and Blue Cheese Sauce

After a subtle creamy cheese tomato flavour the tuna comes through and hits your taste buds. It’s like two meals on one fork, each tastily complementing the other.

Serves 6
Ingredients

  • 440g Diced Tuna.
  • 1 clove Garlic.
  • A few sprigs of rosemary (optional).
  • 150g pack Castello Danish Blue cheese. There well be some left over.
  • 280g jar Sundried Tomatoes in oil.
  • 680g Jar Italian Passata. About half is used.
  • 400g Whole Wheat Fusilli dry pasta.

Steps

  • Drain and quarter the sundried tomatoes and place in a wide pan over a medium heat.
  • Add the crushed garlic, a little salt and pepper, and thyme leaves to the tomatoes and cook through.
  • In another wide pan, cook the tuna and break into bite sized pieces. 
  • Add about 300g of the passata to the tomatoes and heat. Add more if you feel it needs it. 
  • Meanwhile, prepare the pasta in a large saucepan. 
  • While all three pans are on the go, add about 3/4 of the cheese to the tomatoes and stir in until it’s fully mixed in.
  • Taste the tomato sauce. If it’s too sweet, add some more cheese. If it’s too cheesy, add some more passata. Mix it in and heat through.
  • When the tomato sauce is cooed through and the tuna is thoroughly cooked, add the sauce to the tuna and mix.
  • When the pasta is ready (try a bit, if its too hard or chewy give it a bit longer until its softer and how you like it), drain the pasta and rinse before adding it to the tuna and tomatoes.
  • Turn until the pasta and the tuna are well coated.
