This is probably the thing we eat most often when we come in tired from a long day - it only takes 20 minutes to make, and everything can come out of the storecupboard (bar the onion).
We'd been in town this afternoon (finding you some 'climbing shoes', otherwise known as black plimmies) so there wasn't much time to make some tea.
You need:
1 tin of tuna (doesn't have to be anything fancy - in fact in brine is better than in oil)
1 onion, finely chopped
a clove of garlic
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
a tablespoon of capers
a splash of balsamic vinegar
a squeeze of tomato puree
a couple of bay leaves and a fair sprinkle of thyme
lots of black pepper
pasta of your choice
Fry the onion and garlic in some olive oil until they are translucent. Add the tomato puree, and cook for a minute or so. Chuck in the tin of tomatoes, and add a splash of balsamic vinegar and the herbs. Bring to the boil, and then simmer vigorously for 10 minutes or so, before adding the tuna (flaked), and a tablespoon of capers. Simmer gently for however long you can, depending on how hungry you are.
It worked well with pasta twists today - the sauce gets caught in the twists quite nicely.
