Serves 4

Syn Free, if using the cheese as part HEX's

200g wholewheat pasta
2 x cans of tuna steaks in water/brine
1 courgette, sliced and quartered
1 tub of Quark
1 red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
150g mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp. tomato puree
90g reduced fat Mozzarella or mix of Mozzarella and mature Cheddar

Pre-heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
Cook the pasta according to pack instructions.
Meanwhile, spray a pan well with Frylight and cook the onion until soft. I usually start it off in the microwave with a splash of water, to speed the process up.
Add the peppers, courgette and mushrooms and cook for a further 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Drain the pasta and rinse with boiling water. Stir into the vegetables.
Flake the tuna and stir into the pasta and veg.
In a separate bowl, mix together the Quark and tomato puree. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the Quark mixture into the pasta and veg.
Put the tuna pasta into a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with the cheese. Cook for 15 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese is bubbling and golden.
