I love this recipe because I am a working mother of two children and try and find delicious food that I can make quickly with what I generally have in my fridge or freezer. I sometimes use 3 beans or 5 bean tins as well as canellini beans. Not only is it deliciously tasty, it’s also a quick, healthy and balanced meal that the whole family love
I love this recipe not only because of its simplicity but also because it truly delivers the authentic flavours and taste of rustic Italian cuisine. It really lets the ingredients do the talking.
This is my favourite dish, so simple but the freshness is invigorating and when the tuna is right it is unbelievable.
