This Tuna, Zucchini and Tomato Spaghetti is another dish that is made up of mostly pantry ingredients, and is so simple to put together, that even on those nights that takeaway seems like a quick option, this will be just as quick, and almost as easy!
If your kids don’t eat fish, get them to try this spaghetti, making sure to flake the tuna into very small pieces, since it almost will “disappear” into the spaghetti.
