Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 tin chopped tomatoes
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 360 grams dried pasta shapes

• 1/2 tin beans, such as kidney beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• Small tin of tuna in water, drained

Method

1. Cook the tomatoes, onion and garlic in a saucepan for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion is soft.
2. While the vegetables are cooking, boil the pasta for about 10 minutes, following the instructions on the packet (don’t add any salt).
3. Season the tomatoes with paprika, stir in the drained beans and cook for another 5 minutes.
