Tasty Tuna and Sweetcorn Pasta

Back To Basics

After a very stressful long day it's very tempting to buy fast food or quick fixes.  The problem is that these foods are not necessarily the best quality and can be quite unhealthy and unsatisfying.  I decided to go back to basics by cooking a very very super simple pasta student dish.  It may not be fine dining, but it tastes good and its filling.  So for all the students out there who can't boil water, learn how to cook quick and easy food fast. Otherwise you won't have any brain power from all the unhealthy food and you will be out of pocket.

Saffy's Top Tips:

 
1. Change up the fish if you are not in the mood for tuna. If your're using mackrel you do not need to use as much oil for frying.

2. Try this with crumbled feta cheese.

3.  Pack this up with some grated cheddar and salad vegetables for a lovely tuna pasta salad.
