Spaghetti with tuna sauce


I make this pasta when my fridge is empty. I have always some tomatoes can , tuna can and obviously spaghetti ! It has a sea flavour , above all if you chose a tuna of high quality.

Ingredients for 4 persons
1 can (170 g/6 oz) Tuna, drained
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 can (796 mL) diced tomatoes
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1 package spaghetti
6 tbsp extra virgin oil
salt and pepper to taste

In a frypan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, chopped parsley , salt and pepper to taste . Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add minced tuna and cook for 5 minutes more.
Meanwhile cook spaghetti in salted water until 'al dente'. Drain and return to the pot.
Add tuna sauce to pasta and toss.
Sprinkle with a little bit of parsley (optional). Serve with dry white wine.
