Tuna and Red Pepper Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans of tuna, drained
  • 1 jar (12 oz) of roasted red pepper, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust according to your heat preference)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pasta of your choice (spaghetti works great!)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Start by boiling your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, but make sure to save a little pasta water for later.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it’s fragrant, but not brown.
  3. Next, add in the chopped roasted red pepper to the skillet. Stir it around and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing those flavors to meld together.
  4. Now, it’s time to add the drained tuna. Toss it in and break it up a bit with your spatula. Mix in the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to your preference.
  5. Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet, and if it feels too dry, add a splash of that reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Give it a good toss and taste to adjust seasoning if needed. Once everything’s incorporated, transfer to plates or a serving dish.
  7. Finally, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley on top for that finishing touch. Serve it up hot and enjoy!

This Tuna and Red Pepper Sauce dish is not only quick to make but also a delightful combination of flavors that will have your taste buds dancing. It’s one of those meals that’s totally satisfying and will have everyone coming back for seconds. Enjoy, and happy cooking!
