“Casarecce Pasta al Tonno, Pomodorini, Capperi e Olive”...(with Tuna, Capers, Olives in a juicy Pomodorini “Cherry Tomatoes” sauce).
This is one of my favourite “store cupboard” meals, it makes perfect rustle up supper ready in 15 minutes, quick and easy to prepare, healthy, on budget and packed with lots of flavours! What else to ask for?
Using fine quality ingredients will guarantee the best result for this simply delicious pasta dish.
Today I used canned “tuna al peperoncino in olive oil” for the extra taste! Now available to buy in major UK supermarkets!
And if you are short of ideas for tonight supper, here you go my recipe for you to try ⬇️⬇️

SAVE & SHARE ❤️

Ingredients (serve 4-5):
500g dried Casarecce
400g tinned cherry tomatoes d
200g of canned tuna in olive oil, roughly chopped
1 shallot (thinly chopped)
2 bashed garlic clove
1tsp dried or fresh chilli (optional)
1tbsp dry-salted capers (soaked in cold water to eliminate the saltiness)
3tbsp green olives
3tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Black pepper
Fresh parsley (thinly chopped)

Method:
In a large pan of boiling salted water, start to cook the pasta according to package instructions until they are “al dente”.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and the garlic for a couple of minutes until soft and golden.
Add the tomatoes, season with black pepper and chilli, stir to combine and simmer on a low heat for few minutes.
Then add the tuna, the capers, the olives, a bit of fresh parsley and let it cook for few minutes. Loosen with a little water from the pasta if it gets too thick.
Drain the pasta “al dente” (reserving a bit of the pasta water), add into the saucepan, toss to combine with the tuna sauce, loosening with a little pasta water if necessary.
Serve hot with parsley and black pepper.

🥣 Soup season is officially here! 🧡 One of our all-time family favorites is this deliciously creamy Butternut Squash & Coconut Milk Soup — or as my little one calls it, “Orange Soup”! 🍂

It’s super easy to make, light yet nourishing, and perfect for cozy autumn days. Plus, it’s ideal for everyone, whether you’re , , , or ! 🌱

✨ Meal prep tip: Cook a big batch, enjoy it for a couple of meals, or freeze portions for easy, healthy lunches or dinners later in the week. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did! 😉

Ingredients (serves 4-6)
- 2 medium butternut squash - 2 small carrots
- 3 small potatoes - 3 shallots - 2 bashed cloves of garlic
- 500ml vegetable stock
- 3/4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp of honey
- 3/4 thin slices of root ginger
- 400ml coconut milk
- Salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme for seasoning
- Fresh chilly and coriander for serving

Method
- Chop the pealed vegetables and place everything in a tray (leaving only the potatoes aside), season with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme and roast in the oven for about 25-30 mins at 180 degree.
- After 10 mins add a couple of table spoon of honey to glaze the veggies, toss to combine and let the veggies roast for another 10-15 mins. Put aside to rest.
- In a large saucepan gently stir fry one shallot and the root ginger for a couple of minutes, add the diced potatoes and toss to combine for approx 10 mins in total. Add the honey roasted veggies, stir for few minutes and gradually add the vegetable stock (diluted in approx 500ml of water), enough to cover the vegetables. Allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes at a slow heat.
- Once cooled down blend the soup until smooth.
- Bring the soup back up to a simmer for 5 minutes, add the coconut milk and stir until everything combines together, then season to your taste.
- Serve warm, with fresh coriander, little chilly, a dash of extra virgin olive oil and sliced sourdough bread for the perfect dipping 😉
