Penne with Curried Tuna Sauce

Cooking Time: 10 mins
Prep Time: 5 mins
This was my 'just got back to uni' meal and was seriously tasty and seriously easy. I used a pretty spicy curry paste for the sauce, but you can use pretty much whatever you like to spice up your pasta. 

Ingredients (For 1 person):
75g Penne pasta
1 185g can of Tuna
1 400g can of Chopped Tomatoes
3-4 teaspoons of Curry Paste
4 Baby Sweetcorn sliced
5-6 Sugarsnap Peas sliced
Olive Oil
Rocket to garnish

Steps:
  1. Heat some oil up in a saucepan and in a separate saucepan bring a decent amount of water and a little salt (to stop the pasta sticking) to the boil
  2. Chuck your pasta in the boiling water and leave on a medium heat for about 9 minutes
  3. Meanwhile, chuck your tuna and the vegetables in the oil in the saucepan along with the curry paste and cook for a few minutes
  4. Add the can of tomatoes to the tuna & vegetables, stir, and bring the saucepan to a simmer adding water if the liquid gets too low
  5. Once the time for the pasta has come up, drain the pasta and serve with the tuna sauce and pop a few bits of rocket on to add a bit of colour


Eggs... in a sandwich toaster?


So, for my birthday I got a pretty incredible sandwich toaster. I use it quite a bit to make tasty toasted sandwiches but I decided to explore a bit more.
So, inspired by some very inventive and quite funny Youtube videos, I found a recipe for cooking Eggs in it, and it's really tasty.
All you need to do is:
  1. Turn the toaster up to medium and let it heat up
  2. Whisk eggs together (1 for each triangle in the toaster)
  3. Pour into the sections of the toaster once it's heated up
  4. Cook for 5 minutes
And you're done! It's as simple as that, I you can make some very tasty omelette-eseque triangles out of it. As it was the first time I'd tried this I didn't want to go too wild, so I just mixed in a bit of Cumin with the egg mix at the start to give it a little bit of a kick and then after the eggs were cooked, chucked the triangles into some bread with Cheddar, Tuna and Sweetcorn and toasted it. Simply put, it was good.
So, if you have a sandwich toaster, then give it a go. Quick, easy, tasty.
