Spaghetti with tuna sauce

Spaghetti with tuna sauce

Ingredients

•  1-2 tablespoons olive oil
•  1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
•  3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
•  2 x 400g cans diced Italian tomatoes
•  425g can Italian-style tuna in oil
•  500g spaghetti

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 2

Add the parsley, taking care, because the parsley may jump about if the pan has become a bit too hot. Stir for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes and their juice.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes until a sauce-like consistency.

Step 4

Drain the oil from the tuna (not down the sink, though) and add to the pan, breaking it up and mixing it through the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and cook following packet directions or until al dente. Drain and transfer to a warm serving bowl.

Step 6

Stir in the sauce, season with black pepper and serve immediately.
