🐟 Tuna Pasta with Fresh Cherry Tomato Sauce
8 steps
Cook:15min
One more simple and indulgent pasta with fresh cherry tomato sauce for a busy week or lazy weekend.
This pasta is my go-to if I have a stock-up on tuna cans and want to eat something besides a salad or a sandwich.
Fresh cherry tomato sauce is a great alternative to the regular one. It has a much fresher and slightly sweet flavor. And good thing it is done in less than 15 minutes.
🐟 Feel free to use more cherry tomatoes, tuna, or garlic to your taste.
🐟 As an option, you may fry the drained tuna with onion and garlic. And only then add tomatoes.
🐟100g pasta = 10g salt =1l water
