Tuna. Thanks to Jessica Simpson, we definitively know that this chicken of the sea is indeed a fish. Tuna is also a great cheap source of protein that works great in tomato sauce. I was skeptical of having canned tuna with pasta the first time I ate it. Now, I love it. It brings an incredible flavor and a heartiness to a weeknight meal.
Ingredients (serves 2):
1/2 lb. spaghetti
1/2 lemon zested
2 teaspoons capers
1 can tuna (whole, in water)
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 handful fresh basil
1. Make a basic tomato sauce. If you make the sauce in advance, gently warm up the sauce before proceeding.
2. Add lemon zest, capers, and olive oil to the sauce and cook for 2 minutes over a medium heat.
3. Break up the whole tuna and add to the sauce. Cover and let cook over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
4. Boil a pot of water and cook spaghetti to al dente which should be around 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Drain the water from the pasta. Add the sauce to the spaghetti and mix.
6. Serve your pasta with some fresh basil. Enjoy!
