• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 10 ounces penne pasta
• olive oil
• 1 (6 ounce) can chunk tuna
• 2 medium shallots, chopped
• Worcestershire sauce, as much as you like
• cheddar cheese, as much as you like
• black pepper

directions

1. Cook Pasta according to packet instructions.
2. While pasta is cooking, chop shallots and drain tuna.
3. Drain cooked pasta and set aside.
4. In the pan just used to cook pasta, gently fry shallots in oil until starting to brown.
5. Add tuna and stir to heat. At this point splash in the worcestershire sauce, as much as you like!
6. Add pasta to hot tuna mix and stir until pasta is fully coated.
7. Grate in some cheddar cheese, stir around, then grate in a bit more. I find this gets the pasta coated better than just adding all cheese at once.
8. Heat for about 5-10 minutes more. Leave it without stirring for little periods at a time, this allows the cheesey tuna to catch on the pasta and makes it crispy in places.
9. Serve in deep bowls with a glass of wine :o).
