Pasta Pan Bagnat with Tuna and Olives
This pasta is fresh and light and packed with superfoods like anchovies and garlic – flavours that marry perfectly with whole wheat pasta.
Pan bagnat is a type of tuna sandwich from the south of France. It’s fresh and light and packed with superfoods like anchovies and garlic – flavours that marry perfectly with whole wheat pasta. Bulking up the dish with fresh arugula means that you can use less pasta and create a dish that’s part salad, part main course and entirely delicious.
