- 1
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces (halve cherry tomatoes). Finely chop the basil and garlic. Mix with your desired amount of tuna and the ★ ingredients to make the sauce.
- 2
If using fresh basil, freeze it first and then crush it for quick chopping. Check out user ID: 17751886 for tips on freezing basil.
- 3
If you don't have fresh basil, use this alternative (reduce salt if it's already seasoned). Shiso leaves can give it a Japanese twist.
- 4
You can also use dried garlic slices, crushed by hand. If so, let it sit longer in step 1. Garlic paste works too.
- 5
Adjust the amount of tuna, garlic, and basil to your liking. The sauce is ready to eat immediately, but chilling it in the fridge helps the flavors meld.
- 6
Cook the pasta slightly longer than usual, then cool it in ice water and drain. Try it with ID: 18267138 for a chilled noodle experience!

If using cherry tomatoes and steps 2 or 3, you won't need a cutting board! Use a microwave pasta cooker to avoid using the stove. Even kids can help!
