Pasta with tuna sauce

For tuna lovers all around the globe, this is a tuna sauce that you will remember forever! :D Use preferably with shell-type pasta (conchiglie), because they retain the sauce better and give extra taste :)

Time you'll need to make this: 30 minutes
Difficulty level: easy!




Ingredients (for 2 plates):

- pasta (how much you eat on a regular portion x 2)
- a can of tuna (preferably in oil, but water is okay as well)
- a big tomato
- a clove of garlic
- olive oil
- salt
- oregano
- pepper
- tomato sauce
- cooking cream (preferably light)
- water


How to cook it:

1. Fill a cooking pot with water, add a spoon of salt, some pepper, oregano and a bit of olive oil. Stir well and let it boil.
2. Throw in the pasta when the water is boiling. Stir well.
3. Remove when done (usually about 10-15mins) and drain.
4. Meanwhile, chop the garlic in small pieces.
5. Place a small bit of olive oil in a frying pan and heat it. Add the chopped garlic and let it fry a bit.
6. Add the tuna in the frying pan. Season with oregano, a bit of salt (it is advised to taste and add, as tuna is usually salty by itself), a bit of pepper. Stir around and let it fry a bit.
7. Chop the tomato in small pieces and add it in the frying pan together with its juice. Let it all fry for 3-5mins, to get the tomato to soften.
8. Mash the tomato in the frying pan with a spoon, until it becomes a sauce. Then add tomato sauce enough to cover the ingredients in the frying pan. Let it cook in lower heat for 5 minutes.
9. Add cooking cream in the sauce until it becomes an orange color. It should need about half the quantity of the tomato sauce.
10. Let the sauce cook in low heat for another 10 minutes. Then, let it rest off the heat for another few minutes.
11. Add the sauce to the cooking pot with the pasta, and stir everything well so that the sauce goes everywhere. Eat well!
