Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 red peppers, chopped
  • 150 g mushrooms, chopped
  • 320 g frozen vegetables
  • 320 g pasta
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tins tuna, drained
  • 1 litre stock
  • 200 ml water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • black pepper
  • 1 tbsp mixed herbs

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in your pan, saute the onion and garlic. If you are using a multicooker you can use the saute function.
  • Add in the peppers and mushrooms, cook for 2 minutes. Then add the frozen vegetables. Lower the heat or cancel the saute function on the multicooker.
  • Place the pasta on top of the vegetables, then add a layer of chopped tomatoes, followed by tuna and pour over the stock. Rinse out the chopped tomato cans and add the water in. Your pasta should be almost covered with liquid.
  • Add the lemon juice, black pepper and dried herbs.
  • Pressure cook for 5 minutes (or half the time the packet tells you the pasta needs to cook) or simmer on the hob for 15 minutes, until the pasta is cooked.

Remember to keep any leftovers for packed lunches!
