Ingredients
- 1 can (400 g) tomatoes in tomato sauce
- 1 can (350 g) tuna in its own juice, drained
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano spice
- 1 teaspoon dried basil spice
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup grated cheese (I used mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat up the oil in a deep frying pan.
- In a mixing bowl, pour the contents of the tomato can. If the tomatoes are whole, break them into small pieces. I usually just squash them with a fork. Add the water.
- Place the tomato mix into the frying pan and bring to simmer.
- Add the oregano, basil, salt pepper and tomato paste.Mix well. Bring to simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken a bit and some of the liquid will evaporate.
- While the sauce is cooking, cook the pasta. In a large pot, bring 2 liters of salted water to boil, add the desired pasta (I used fusili) and cook according to the time on the packaging.
- Open and drain the liquid from the canned tuna.Add the tuna to the tomato sauce and mix well. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- By this time, the pasta should have cooked already. Drain the pasta and add directly to the tuna sauce in the frying pan.Mix through well.Cook together for 1 minutes and your pasta al tonno is done.
- Garnish with grated cheese and serve hot.
- Enjoy!
