Method
-
1
Prep everything first: wash and trim the spinach and mushrooms, then measure out the sauce ingredients.
-
2
Cook the gluten-free pasta for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, and rinse briefly to stop it sticking.
-
3
Sear the tuna steak in a very hot pan for 60-90 seconds per side, keeping the centre pink, then slice.
-
4
Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.
-
5
Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the spinach and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.
-
6
Build the bowl: gluten-free pasta first, then the veg and tuna steak, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
