Farfalle With Tuna, Spinach & Pine Nuts*

This pasta dish is easy and impressive - a great meal to make for company

Ingredients (Makes 4 servings)

350 g farfalle pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tsp harissa paste
12 oz tuna loin, cubed
12 oz baby spinach
4 sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and chopped
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup sliced black olives
  Kosher salt
  Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. In a pot cook pasta in boiling salted water for 10 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. While pasta is cooking, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and harissa, and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add tuna and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add spinach and toss with tongs until it begins to wilt. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, chicken stock and olives. Bring to a boil and simmer until cherry tomatoes have softened but still hold shape, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  3. Stir in pasta and toss well. Serve garnished with pine nuts.
