Cooking Green Pea Penne

1. Three-quarter fill a large 2lt saucepan with water.
2. Add a little salt and bring it to a rapid, rolling boil.
3. Add the pasta and stir to avoid it sticking.
4. Boil uncovered for 7 minutes. 
5. Carefully remove a piece of pasta and cut it with the side of a fork. If the pasta resists, continue the boiling and repeat the fork test every minute until it is ‘al dente’ and just cuts through the pasta.
6. Drain the pasta into a colander over the sink.
7. Tip the drained pasta into the cooking pan.
8. Stir the soy sauce mixture, add it to the pan and mix it with the pasta.
9. Cover the pasta.

Green Pea Penne with Seared Sesame Tuna

1. Heat some sesame oil in a frying pan over a gentle heat, add the garlic strips and fry for a minute until light brown.
2. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Increase the heat, add the sesame coated tuna and stir gently until it is seared on all sides, 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
4. Gently re-heat the pea pasta if required and serve immediately.
5. Place the seared sesame tuna on top of the pasta.
6. Scatter the fried garlic strips and sliced spring onion over the top.
