Tuna and fennel pasta

Serves:2-3
Cooking Time:20 minutes
Cook's Tips:Cook's note: This pasta is totally effortless and rewarding. The distinctive anise-like flavour of the fennel becomes more mellow as it cooks and marries perfectly with the salty tuna.

  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
