Spaghetti with Tuna

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Spaghetti
• 4 ounces Canned tuna in olive oil, drained
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 medium Ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt (For pasta water)
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions, until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. 2In a saucepan, add the drained tuna and its oil (or 1 tablespoon of olive oil if the tuna is packed in water). Fry the tuna over medium heat for about 3 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.
3. 3Add the chopped parsley and tomatoes to the saucepan with the tuna. Season with pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices, about 5 minutes.
4. 4Add the drained spaghetti to the saucepan with the tuna and tomato sauce. Toss to combine, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a saucier consistency. Serve immediately.
