Do I keep the liquid from the tuna as no liquid in the mix and do I Cook with foil over it, to stop drying out, please advise

Do you have to cook the broccoli before adding it to the mix or does it go in raw??

Stick it in raw mate; if you cook it beforehand, it'll turn to mush.
Enjoy!

This looks like a good recipe. A few questions:

What size cans of tuna? 3 oz, 5 oz, 12 oz?

Is the herb measurement for fresh or dried herbs and any suggestions on the type of herbs?

Thanks.

Hi Diana,

Reached out to the author to get the answers to these questions:

- The canned weight is 160g (5 oz approx.)
- Dried mixed herbs - Marjoram, basil, oregano & thyme was what the author used, but ultimately it's up to you which you go for.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for clarifying. I look forward to making this (with gluten-free pasta).
