Method
- 1
Spiralise the courgettes, or use a julienne peeler. Spread them on a clean tea towel, sprinkle lightly with salt and leave for 10 minutes, then pat dry. This stops the sauce going watery.
10 min - 2
Heat the olive oil in a large deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- 3
Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, pressing them with a spoon, until they burst and make a loose sauce.
- 4
Stir in the olives, capers and tuna, breaking the tuna into big flakes. Warm through for 2 minutes.
2 min - 5
Add the courgette noodles and toss with tongs for 1 to 2 minutes, only until just tender. They should still have a little bite.
- 6
Off the heat, add the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, the parsley and pepper. Serve immediately.
