Name: Tuna, zucchini and pea spaghetti
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 400 gm spelt spaghetti (see note); 200 gm frozen peas; 70 ml extra-virgin olive oil; 2 tsp red wine vinegar; Finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon, or to taste; 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced; 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped; 2 zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds on a mandolin; 200 gm sashimi-grade tuna, thinly sliced; ¼ cup each coarsely chopped rocket and flat-leaf parsley

The only cooking needed for this dish is the pasta and peas – the residual heat from the pasta wilts and warms the other ingredients. It’s just as good served cold as hot, and makes excellent leftovers.
