1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small sweet red pepper or roasted pepper, chopped
4 green onions, chopped

1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
4 cups (1 L) fusilli pasta

In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, red pepper and half of the onions for 2 minutes.
Stir in chicken stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes. Add drained tuna, salt and pepper; heat through.

Tip: Choose water-packed tuna instead of oil-packed to keep the dish as low in fat as it is high in flavour. Chunk or whole tuna won't fall apart when tossed with the pasta.
