Recipe: Baked pasta with tuna, zucchini and thyme

Pasta with aromatic herbs
June 30, 2012
ThymeThe combination of thyme and tuna is one of my favorites. I used it for this baked pasta, garnished with fried zucchini.


I made this pasta with the intention of making it attractive to my son, who ultimately likes red food. So I peeled the zucchini before frying, so they can... be confused with the other ingredients (many mothers will know what I'm talking about!).

The pasta looks wonderful. I m going to make some as soon as the weather cools down. Somehow heating up the oven when the temperature is over 30C, doesn t seem logical. Thanks for sharing this one with Presto Pasta Nights.
