Spicy Tuna Marinara

A really easy and healthy dish you can serve to the kids (just hold the capers).

Serves 2 to 3  Prep Time 5 minutes  Cooking Time 20 minutes

400 grams spaghetti noodles
4 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 400-gram cans stewed tomatoes
1 150-gram can Century Tuna spicy tuna flakes, drained
1/4 cup bottled capers (optional)
salt to taste
1/8 cup chopped fresh basil
grated Parmesan cheese

1  Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions.

2  Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the garlic and brown over medium heat. Add the stewed tomatoes and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.

3  Add the tuna flakes to the stewed tomatoes and stir in. Simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes, or until the tomato sauce has thickened. Mash any chunky tomatoes against the side of the pan to even out the consistency of the sauce.

4  Add the capers and season the sauce with salt. Turn off the heat then stir in the chopped basil. Serve over spaghetti noodles with generous sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese.
