250g of Eliche 56 Agnesi
1 medium zucchini, sliced into small rounds
1 red bell pepper, diced

Eliche N° 56

Cook the pasta Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Pasta Agnesi Eliche and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
Sauté the vegetables While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini and peppers and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and lightly golden. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Add the tuna Once the vegetables are cooked, add the drained tuna to the pan. Stir gently to break up the tuna and combine it with the vegetables. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Combine pasta and sauce Add the cooked Pasta Agnesi Eliche to the pan with the vegetables and tuna. Toss everything together gently, adding a small amount of reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
Serve and garnish Serve the pasta in bowls, garnishing with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of colour. You can also sprinkle a little grated Parmesan over the top for extra flavour, if desired.
