We always have canned tuna in our cupboard. Since we're not feeding our daughter meat other than fish and the occasional chicken (I conceded on this one since Marguerite is such a picky eater and I want to beef up her nutrient intake), tuna, canned or fresh, figures a lot in our diet. Last night, upon rooting through our supplies, I came up with a package of spinach fettuccine, the ever present tuna, tomato sauce, and other ingredients that indicate the makings of some pasta dish. I ended up making this one (2 biggish servings?):
Ingredients:
1 can tuna (155 g/ 5.5 oz)
1/4 C olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
half a medium onion
1 package tomato sauce (forgot to check size, but it's probably 250 g)
1 T brown sugar
chopped olives (optional)
a fistful of fettuccine
some grated cheese
Cook the pasta. How? Well, um, boil water, add pasta (don't break; bend gently with a wooden spoon), a drop of olive oil, a dash of salt. Stir to get rid of clumps, then wait until it's as you like it. I usually get a piece to do a bite test on. When done, drain and dump into a serving bowl.
For the tuna sauce, sauté garlic and onion in olive oil over medium heat. Add drained tuna and stir well. Add tomato sauce. Stir in the brown sugar. Cook over low heat for about 30 mins. Toss in olives. Pour mess over cooked pasta. Must have cheese, so:
