A different pasta dish - for fish lovers and vegetarians who eat fish. My own invention!  

Ingredients:  
                  

• 300 grams (a bit more than ½ lb.) of pasta (any kind will do, but I prefer the "tricolore" kind here, the one with three colours. Any old shape will do, fusilli, rigatoni, fettucine, whatever you like!) 
• 1 large onion 
• 2 cloves of garlic (optional, but if you ask me, essential!)
• 2 peppers (preferably green) 
• 250 grams (½ lb.) of mushrooms (I prefer chestnut mushrooms, they have a stronger taste, or if you want to make it a bit exclusive, oyster mushrooms) 
• 250 grams (½ lb.) of Mascarpone cheese (or any other full fat cheese with little taste will do, or double cream) 
• 25 grams (1 oz.) of butter or some oil 
• some basil and oregano to taste 
• salt & pepper to taste 
• a drop of dry white wine 
• about 500 grams (1 lb.) of tuna (canned, or if you can afford it, fresh) 
• some Mozarella cheese if you want to bake it in the oven 

Clean and cut the onions, peppers, garlic. Fry the onions and garlic, add the tuna. Add peppers and mascarpone. Mix well, then add a splash of white wine and the basil and oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Brush off the mushrooms and slice them, add to sauce. Leave to simmer a few more minutes.  Meanwhile cook pasta according to the directions on the package. Remember that if you like your pasta to be 'al dente' (with a bite to it),  to cook it for a shorter period (about a minute or two less)!  

Tip: If you want to bake the dish in the oven, make sure the pasta is cooked al dente, take an oven dish, rub it in with some oil or butter, pour the drained pasta into it, add the sauce and cover with some mozarella cheese. Leave to bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes on 225º C or 437º F!  

Serves 4.
