This rich and creamy recipe proves that pantry cooking can be delicious. With a can of Clover Leaf Tuna, a handful of pasta, some feta, and juicy cherry tomatoes, you’ve got a meal that’s both nostalgic and comforting without requiring any extra effort!

Ingredients

3 cups Short pasta (penne, rotini, or rigatoni)
1 block (200g) Feta cheese
300g (about 2 cups) Cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cans (170g each) Clover Leaf Flaked Light Tuna in water, drained
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
¼ tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Butter
½ cup Plain breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for serving)

PREP INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large baking dish, add cherry tomatoes, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, oregano, and pepper. Toss to combine, then nestle the feta block in the center of the dish.
  3. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the feta is soft and slightly golden.
  4. Meanwhile, boil pasta in water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  5. In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and stir frequently for 3-4 minutes, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
  6. Once the feta and tomatoes are out of the oven, stir everything together to create a creamy sauce.
  7. Stir in the drained Clover Leaf tuna and hot pasta, adding a splash of pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
  8. Divide the pasta into 4 shallow bowls, then top with toasted breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
