Everyone wants to be Italian

Many moons ago one of my friends organised a pasta night. She made sicilian tomato and tuna pasta. This is my take on it. I made only some small variations.



You'll need:
spaghetti (d'uh)
chopped tomates from a can/carton
1 tuna can
fresh basil
3 garlic
tarragon
lemon pepper
olive oil
salt (for pasta)
Freshly grated hard cheese (parmesan or regiano)

The sauce can be made while boiling pasta. Add all of the ingredients into a pan (except for grated cheese of course). The only thing that needs chopping is basil. No need to chop garlic. Put whole cloves in. They will give out the taste, and will have to be removed before serving. It;s part of the magic of this recipe. I cut mine into halves, that's why there seem to be so many in the picture. Simmer on low gas. No need to add salt.


When the pasta is ready, sprinkle it with olive oil and add the sauce. Stir everything and transfer into a plate. Sprinkle with grated cheese, add a few leaves of basil on top for extra effect, et voila!





Bon appétit!
