    1 Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Carefully add pasta and a little bit of salt. Watch it doesn’t boil over. Turn the heat down a bit, but keep it boiling for 8-10 minutes.

    2 While pasta is cooking, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces. After pasta has been cooking for 8 minutes, place broccoli in the same pot and let it cook for 3 minutes.

    3 Drain pasta and add tuna. Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan if you like.

    HFG tip

    The water, the pasta and the pot are going to be hot when cooking. Steam will be coming out the top and the liquid may splash, so be extra-careful.

    • Always use oven mitts when handling the pot.
    • Don’t put your face near the pot to check on the progress.
    • Don’t put your hand directly above the cooking pot.
    • To drain and transfer pasta from pot to plate, use a pasta ladle (a big spoon with holes).
    • Better yet, ask an adult for help.
