Spaghetti with Tomato and Tuna Sauce

Ingredients:

• 200g spaghetti
• 1 can of tuna in olive oil (drained)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 400g canned tomatoes (or 3 fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil (for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the spaghetti: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt, then cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the sauce:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add tomatoes: Stir in the canned tomatoes (or fresh ones) and season with salt, pepper, and oregano (if using). Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Add the tuna: Break up the canned tuna with a fork and add it to the tomato sauce. Gently stir everything together and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
5. Combine: Toss the cooked spaghetti in the sauce until well-coated.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with grated cheese. Serve hot and enjoy !
