We loved this! I used spiral pasta shapes, frozen spinach (which I thawed) 2 180g cans tuna in brine, 1 400 g can crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp oregano and the juice of 1 lemon. I also added a handful of grated cheese before serving. Will make this again, delicious. * Just a note re the oregano it is mentioned twice (step 5 & 6) I added it with the salt and pepper.
