Tuna Pasta

I am in love with meals that can be made from a few ingredients that we have in the pantry.
It’s Magic,
It’s easy
It’s fun,
It’s delicious and the most available.

That’s how my tuna pasta was born.
I took all the ingredients I love the most and made an insane bite of pasta out of them.

A pampering plate with minimal effort,
Minimum ingredients and maximum taste.

This pasta is also wonderful without the tuna.
Olives that provide saltiness and moisture,
Tomatoes that make every bite vivacious and full of juices,
And the caramelized onion that caresses every piece of pasta.
All these ingredients together, with or without the tuna, will give us a luxurious and indulgent plate,
Such a beautiful one… as if served in a restaurant.

There is no need for any complicated techniques here,
It is very, very easy to prepare this beautiful and delicious dish.
A few minutes separate you from this indulgent pasta.

Happy and tasty days of pasta to us all 🙂

Tuna Pasta

Ingredients:

• 250g pasta (Gluten-free or one that contains gluten)
• 1 medium size onion (White / red)
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• A large handful of cherry tomatoes
• 1 canned tuna in olive oil
• ½ cup olives black / green pitted and cut into rings
• ¼-½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

1. Boil the pasta in a pot of water according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. At the same time prepare the sauce for our pasta: choose a wide pan, pour a little olive oil in it and fry the onion until it becomes slightly transparent. Add the chopped cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves to the pan and continue frying. Add the olives and saute everything together until a wonderful smell spreads around the whole house. Add salt and saute all the vegetables until they reach the soft bite that you like.
3. When the pasta is ready, transfer it with the help of a slotted spoon from the pot to the vegetable pan on high heat and saute the vegetables and the pasta for a few minutes. Lower the heat and add the tuna and some of its oil and mix everything.

If you like, you can add basil or oregano leaves on top of our pasta dish and serve it 🙂

A little extra from me:

• The pasta can be kept in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
• You can use any vegetable you like such as zucchini, slices of beets or carrots peeled with a peeler, cubes of pumpkin, slices of dried tomatoes etc.
• You can use pasta with gluten or gluten-free, any pasta you choose will work great here. I chose yellow lentil pasta (It’s perfect and I love it).
