Red Lentil Pulse with Tuna, Fennel, Tomato, Capers & Chilli
This pasta dish is full with flavour! If you’re missing some of the ingredients you can try subbing fresh tomatoes for canned tomatoes from the pantry, or if you don’t have fresh fennel try using celery, onion or leek as a texture substitute and as always dried herbs can be used instead of fresh. Happy cooking!
