Tuna Pasta sauce

spockpower

Anybody have a nice recipe for a sauce to go with some pasta and tuna?

Ever a jar of some sauce would be grand but i dont know what would go well with tuna.:o

Put a few cherry tomatoes in a wok and soften them along with some garlic, onion, chilli, etc......
Boil your pasta and when cooked, throw it into the wok, then put your tuna in to heat
Finally a heaped tablespoon of green pesto and mix it up!

1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 medium sized cooking onion
2 cloves garlic
mixed herbs (or spices)
2 Chilli peppers (if you want a hot sauce)
Ground black pepper
Salt (if desired)

Pour chopped tomatoes into blender
Finely chop onions, soften by boiling gently (or frying gently) for about 2 minutes.
Add onions to chopped tomatoes in blender
Crush garlic cloves, add to blender
Chop chillis, removing seeds (be careful to wash hands thoroughly before touching eyes!!!), add to blender
Add mixed herbs [or spices] to taste (be generous)
Add pepper and salt to taste
Blend.

That's your sauce, the onions help thicken the sauce

In the mean time you can be boiling/steaming/frying your veg and boiling your pasta in the saucepan. Add sauce to veg, heat for about 3-5 mins, add tuna, stir. Drain pasta, plate up and serve

Take any of the tomato sauce recipes from the tomato sauce, and add your tuna to it.

If you like it zingy, add some chilli, some tobasco, or anything of that sort.

I do something similar, except that I don't use the blender other than to pulverise the tomatoes, and I don't add chili (I suppose I really mean that I use fairly similar ingredients). I break tinned tuna into the mixture late in the cooking.

You could make Puttanesca with tuna instead of anchovies.

My brother has a very simple recipe. He just cooks the pasta and adds tuna sweetcorn and garlic mayo. He also eats it from the sausepan "to save on washing up"
