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.
