  6. Add the mushrooms, season and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove the mushrooms from the saucepan and set aside.
  8. Add the broccoli and 1⁄4 cup of the stock and cook for 5 minutes over high heat or until the stock has evaporated and the broccoli is cooked but still crunchy.
  9. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly blistered and tip into the mushrooms' bowl.
  10. Creamy Tuna Tomato Sauce:
  11. In a medium saucepan, add the remaining oil and fry the onion for about 4 minutes or until soft.
  12. Add the garlic and the spring onion and cook for a minute.
  13. Stir in the tomato paste, tomatoes and remaining stock.
  14. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until thickened.
  15. Add the milk and cream along with the one can of the tuna.
  16. Cook for a further 5 - 7 minutes until the colour is rich.
  17. Tip in the pasta and half the veggies in the pot with the sauce and mix.
