Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 small onion (, finely diced)
800g / 28 oz crushed tomato ((Note 1))
1 tbsp tomato paste (optional, thickens sauce slightly)
3/4 cup (185ml) water ((Note 2))
1 tbsp Italian mixed herbs (, or other dried herbs of choice)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
425g / 15 oz can chunk tuna ((preferably in oil), drained (Note 3))
200g / 7 oz spiral pasta ((or other pasta of choice))
1 1/2 cups (150g) shredded mozzarella cheese ((Note 4))
Olive Oil (, for drizzling)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Cook pasta per packet directions, minus 1 minute. Drain, rinse under tap water to stop it sticking together, set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 minutes until golden.
  • Add tomato, water, herbs, salt and pepper and tomato paste if using. Stir, bring to simmer, lower heat to medium and simmer energetically for 5 minutes (stir every now and then) until it thickens.
  • Adjust salt to taste. Also add a touch of sugar if it tastes a bit sour (depends on quality of tomato).
  • Turn the stove off, add pasta, stir in.
  • Add tuna and GENTLY stir it in - don't break up the tuna so it disintegrates into mush. Leave some chunks on the surface (nice when it is golden).
  • Drizzle with oil, top with cheese then bake for 20 minutes until golden and you get those nice crusty bits you see in the photos.
  • Stand for 3 minutes then serve!
