Cooking Steps
- Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan and cook the pasta for 10 - 12 minutes.
- Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
- In the meantime, slice the courgette into crescents.
- Chop the onion (see Tip).
Tip: the onion will be served raw, but if preferred you can fry it with the vegetables in step 2 instead.
- Heat the olive oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the courgette for 4 - 6 minutes, then add the Sicilian herbs and cherry tomatoes.
- Fry for 3 - 5 more minutes, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Did you know... courgettes are technically classified as a fruit, as are cucumbers, pumpkins and tomatoes. Courgettes are high in iron, vitamin C and calcium.
- Finely chop the fresh herbs. Drain the tuna and reserve the oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the tuna with the mayonnaise, the fresh herbs and the onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the pasta to a large salad bowl and drizzle with the reserved tuna oil as preferred, then toss well to coat.
- Add the vegetables and toss well to combine, then set aside to cool slightly before serving.
- Add the lettuce and three quarters of the tuna to the pasta.
- Mix well, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the pasta salad on plates and top with the rest of the tuna.
