Pomodoro Tuna Pasta

Easy. Cheap. Delish.

Ingredients

6-8oz spaghetti
Olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
Crushed red pepper (~1 teaspoon)
1 (14.5oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon basil
Salt & pepper
1 can tuna, drained
Parmesan

Directions

Cook noodles according to package directions.

While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in medium-sized pan on medium heat. Mince your fresh garlic and to olive oil with crushed red pepper for about a minute or so, until garlic is lightly browned, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Once browned, reduce heat to low and add tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper (to taste). Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, stir in tuna while breaking it up and stirring occasionally until the pasta is finished.

When pasta is done, drain. Either return to pot and toss with the tuna sauce, or serve topped with sauce - I prefer to toss. Serve topped with parmesan cheese if desired, and garlic bread and a veggie on the side!

Makes about 3-4 servings.
