    💙 Why you'll love them

    • They're easy and express (ready in less than 15 minutes): perfect for an on-the-go lunch or a lazy dinner.
    • They are very tasty, with a creamy, unctuous sauce.
    • They can be kept for several days, making them perfect for batch cooking.

    🧀 Ingredients

    These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Pasta: if you can find fresh pasta, it's great!
    • Tuna: make sure it's good quality, as it's one of the main ingredients in this recipe! I recommend one with extra virgin olive oil.
    • Crème fraîche : thick, for a smooth sauce.
    • Herbs: thyme and parsley.
    • Garlic - if you want to choose your garlic carefully so you do not encourage the slavery of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.
    • Onion : red, which goes perfectly with tuna
    • Spices: Espelette pepper and sweet paprika.
    • Button mushrooms, which are in season all year round.
    • Parmesan: if you can, take it in blocks and grate it yourself at the last minute. So much better than bagged Parmesan!

    ✅ Gluten-free and dairy-free version

    • To make this recipe gluten-free, simply use gluten-free pasta.
    • To make this recipe dairy-free, replace the heavy cream with dairy-free heavy cream and the Parmesan cheese with dairy-free mozzarella pieces (yes, they do exist!).

    🥰 The chef's advice

    Drain your tuna in oil well, to avoid giving your pasta the taste of oil.

    ❄️Storage / freezing

    Once the pasta is cold, you can store it in an airtight Tupperware-style container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

    They may dry out a little in the fridge, so before reheating, feel free to add a tablespoon or two ofwater before microwaving.

    To freeze them, simply place them in a freezer bag marked with the date and name of the recipe, and pop them in the freezer.
