Ingredients

  • 400 g dried penne
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 leeks trimmed, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 large garlic cloves sliced
  • 300 g plant-based tuna
  • 150 ml vegan dry white wine
  • 150 ml plant-based single cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
  • Salt and pepper
  • Rocket salad to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 10–12 minutes or according to the pack instructions until al dente. Drain well and return to the pan.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the leeks, garlic and salt and pepper to taste and cook gently for 5 minutes until the leeks are softened.
  • Add the plant-based tuna and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to the boil and boil until reduced by half. Stir in the plant-based cream and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
  • Add the plant-based tuna sauce to the drained pasta with the parsley and stir over a medium heat for 1 minute. Serve immediately with a rocket salad, if liked.
