Method

  1. Put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta.
  2. Fry the onion in the oil for 5 minutes, then add the garlic for a minute.
  3. Add the tomatoes, tomato purée and herbs and simmer for 10 minutes while the fusilli cooks to the packet instructions.
  4. Steam or boil the broccoli for 4–6 minutes, until tender.
  5. Stir the sweetcorn and tuna into the sauce and heat gently for 3–4 minutes until piping hot, keeping some chunks of tuna whole.
  6. Drain the pasta, keeping back a little of the water, and toss it with the sauce, loosening with a splash of the water if needed.
  7. Serve with the broccoli.
Tip: Buy tuna by its drained weight, not the weight on the front of the tin.
