This was the best ever "I just got back into town and haven't had time to go shopping yet" dish. We'd just gotten back from the holidays, mid-morning on a saturday, and were a bit too exhausted from our trip to head to the supermarket.These are times when having a well-stocked pantry can really come in handy. The recipe required very few ingredients and most of them dried or canned. Sure, I didn't have spaghetti, but I seem to enjoy to like rotini or other shorter pasta a lot better these days.
I heated a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, added a clove of garlic and cooked it until it browned. I then added a can of tuna (in oil, generally Spanish or Italian - I really like Ortiz
), drained and flaked. I stirred in a can of crushed tomatoes (the recipe only called for 3 tablespoons of table paste, but since this was our entire meal, I was really hoping for some lycopene or other healthful redeeming value). I cooked the sauce for about 15 minutes, stirred in some chopped parsley and seasoned it with salt & pepper.
We scarfed the rotini and sauce down and it was perfect! Very flavourful, very satisfying - exactly what we needed.
Tasty Factor: A Ease of Preparation: A+ Modifications: Yes. Used full can of crushed tomatoes instead of 3 tablespoons of tomato paste.
PS. Clearly by the description, you can tell I made this a while ago (over a month) which means I'm still working my way through old photos. Almost onto the new though! In the meantime, however, if you want to see some newer photography, head on over to my other blog for a meal from another source.
