Ingredients
  • 75g quick-cook pasta
  • 1 tin tuna
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • Handful spinach
  • Lemon juice
  • Black pepper
Instructions
  1. 1

    Cook the quick-cook pasta in a mug or small saucepan of well-salted boiling water per packet instructions — usually 4–6 min. Drain, reserving 2 tbsp cooking water.

  2. 2

    Drain the tuna thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Return the drained pasta to the mug. Add the tuna, pesto, and reserved cooking water. Stir to combine — the water helps the pesto coat everything.

  4. 4

    Add the spinach and stir — it'll wilt in the residual heat within 1 min.

  5. 5

    Squeeze over lemon juice, add a grind of black pepper, and serve.
