CHILI, TOMATO AND GARLIC PASTA WITH TUNA



Ingredients

spaghetti (as needed)

medium can tuna in oil

1 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 can crushed tomatoes

1/2 cup orange juice

10 olives, pitted, cut in half

1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

cracked black pepper, to taste

1/2 cup parsley

Directions

1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook your choice of pasta until al dente (cooked but still slightly firm). As soon as it is cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Drain the tuna over a large frypan to catch the juices. Add the onion and cook, stirring, over a medium to high heat until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

4. Add the tomatoes and orange juice and simmer the mixture for 3 minutes. Stir through the tuna, olives and orange zest, and cook for 1 more minute.

5. Season with the pepper and immediately toss through the cooked pasta, or serve separately with sauce spooned on top.

Enjoy!
