Zia Josie linguine with tuna and bocconcini

Ingredients

150g baby bocconcini

150g cherry tomatoes

150g baby spinach leaves

1/2 cup basil leaves

1 shallot

1 clove of garlic

425g can tuna

500g linguine

300ml thickened cream

splash white wine

salt and pepper

Method

Finely chop shallot and garlic, cut tomatoes and bocconcini in half, and drain the tuna (saving the oil for frying shallots)

Fry shallot and garlic till tender (3-5minutes) then de-glaze pan with white wine and reduce, add cream and boil for 5 minutes.

Bring large pan of water to boil add 1 tbsp of salt and linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes.

Fold tuna into cream mixture, then the spinach, turn off the heat and add tomatoes, basil and bocconcini, stir in cooked linguine and serve.

I didn't have fresh basil so I used a squeeze of the tube basil instead.
