There are so many reasons to fall tortellini in love with it.
The ingredients are part of my 14-day Healthy Guide to Stockpiling your Pantry which you can find here. The list contains enough ingredients to cover you for 14-days if you’re self-isolating, so there’s no need to panic buy or hoard unnecessary items, allowing everyone to have access to what they need. I’ve included a bunch of tips on what foods work best for the pantry, fridge and freezer, how to get the kitchen organised and lots of some enticing meals your whole family will enjoy. Ones I hope will turn into family favourites.
Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be sharing more tasty and affordable recipes too, ones that require just a short walk to your pantry and a handful of non-perishables.
I really hope that this helps you and brings you and your family some comfort during these scary and uncertain times. Social isolation can make people feel cannelloni, so I hope this dish will lift your spirits. I also hope you don’t mind my silly jokes, its just a way to try and stay positive amongst everything.
Just because you’re armed with only a few pantry ingredients, doesn’t mean that meals have to taste bland and boring. Why not take this opportunity to stir things up in the kitchen and make a delicious meal that you haven’t tried before?
Pasta is the ultimate soul food, and a perfect lockdown recipe. I’ve used earthy lentil pasta here, but you can use any variety you have in the cupboard. It complements the tuna and is freshened and zinged up with the melting sweetness of the rich tomato sauce, which is high in vitamin C.
Garlic is a wonder ingredient for your immune system and onions contain quercetin, which is responsible for the protection and healing of damaged cells. Onions are not only flavour providers, they also help to balance the natural acidity of the tomatoes.
Enjoy this simple and filling dish full of protein, fibre and flavour, it really is a beautiful thing. Make it and let me know what you think in the comments below.
