Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a pan, throw in the onion and cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, chilli and sugar. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Give it a good stir, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to packet instructions. Flake the tuna into the sauce and heat through. Drain the pasta, return to the pan and stir in the sauce and basil leaves if you have any. Serve with a generous grinding of pepper.

Definitely a keeper! So easy to make. I left the chilli out during cooking as my daughter doesn't like spicy food, but added a drizzle of chilli oil as an option. Everyone had seconds!

question

I’m guessing the sauce can be frozen without the tuna, but can you freeze it with the tuna added?
