- In a frying pan over a medium heat, warm the oil then add the onion and garlic. Cook and stir for a few minutes until the onions are soft then add the mushrooms and continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato puree or pesto and mix well then add the tinned tomatoes and allow to simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until al dente or according to the instructions on the packet. Drain.
- As the pasta is coming to the end of its cooking time, add the tuna to the tomato mixture and stir gently, taking care not to break up the tuna completely.
- When ready to serve, spoon the pasta onto warmed plates then spoon the tuna and tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle with cheese to taste then serve.
