Instructions
- How to make tuna pasta with tomato and basil? I'm not a fan of fish dishes, but this one I love! The onion is optional, as it is amazing with or without. I personally love more without the onions.
- Take a smaller pot, add the olive oil, and heat it up. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent.
- When that's done, add the minced garlic and the tomato puree and mix it together with salt and pepper. When it starts boiling, add the tuna chunks and the chopped fresh basil.
- Leave it to cook on low heat for about 6-8 minutes. You might need to add 40-60ml of water as well, to have enough sauce!
- While cooking the sauce, put water to boil, add some salt and cook the pasta. When your drain the pasta, mix it into the sauce before serving it! This way the pasta will soak up the tuna sauce and it will be more delicious!
