Pasta with Tuna

My father-in-law made this recipe for us several years ago. I wasn't sure that I would like tuna in tomato sauce, but found it to be quite tasty. It is a nice change from traditional meat sauce and is quick and simple to make. You can add or substitute other vegetables depending on what you have in your kitchen. I often add chopped red pepper.

Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce
I came up with this recipe after much thought. Tomato sauce is just not enough, but if you add some heavy cream, it is so delicious. For the tomato sauce I usedDuring Step 2, you can simmer over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes.If you can't make the sauce at the same time as the pasta, add some hot salt water to the sauce pan instead.-You can use just the tomatoes and tuna.-You can serve 2~3 people if you use a lot of sauce.

Tuna Pasta Salad Tuna Pasta Salad
This is my go to for a hearty pasta salad when I'm craving one that's not made with a creamy base. The tuna packs it with protein and I use whole grain pasta to up the nutrition and to make it a bit more filling. A serving of this with some fresh fruit will keep you full until dinnertime.
