Tuna tomato pasta. It's got meat, it's got no added lard, it's forgiving regarding quantities, it's good for hot days and it microwaves well.

Tin of chopped tomatoes
Tin of tuna in brine or water
Ten or so pitted black olives
Some tomato purée
Some garlic
Some chili
Pasta (penne is just the thing)

In pan one, pour in the tin of tomatoes and start it on the heat. Open the tuna, drain off the water and chuck it in, mixing it up. Start the water boiling for the pasta. Chop up the olives (I just cut 'em in half) and chuck them in. Chuck in a splat of tomato purée, a whack of garlic and a bit of chili. Mix this lot up.

Start the pasta in pan two when the water boils (of course). Keep stirring the sauce while the pasta cooks.

Serves two reasonably hungry people. You can easily double quantities if you want a couple of days' packed lunches.

Note the lack of cheese - it doesn't need it.
