Spicy wholemeal pasta topped with seared tuna.

Ingredients:

400g dried wholemeal spaghetti
50.00 ml drained capers
2 fresh long green chillies, deseeded, coarsely chopped
1 x 200g punnet grape tomatoes, halved
2 (about 200g each) tuna steaks
82.50 ml loosely packed fresh basil leaves
Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

In a large saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the pasta following packet directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pan. Add 3 teaspoons of oil, capers, chili, and tomato. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
Heat the rest of the oil in a spacious non-stick frying pan on high heat. Cook the tuna for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare or to your desired doneness. Place on a plate and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Thinly slice the tuna into delicate 5mm-thick pieces. Introduce the slices into the pan with the spaghetti blend. Sprinkle in the fresh basil and lightly mix everything together.
Serve the pasta on individual plates, and generously season with salt and pepper.
