My Culinary Adventures: Tuna Pasta in Garlic and Olive Oil


Tuna Pasta in Garlic and Olive Oil
Recipe adapted from Food.com

Ingredients
1 bag pasta
1/2 cup brown rice, cooked
2 tbs olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) can tuna in vegetable oil
1 1/2 tbsp dried basil
2 tsp dried oregano
Salt
  1. Cook the pasta noodles according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile while pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in pan.
  3. Sauté garlic in oil until lightly brown or fragrant is release.
  4. Stir in tuna including the vegetable oil. Cook this for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the cooked pasta and rice and mix. Remove from heat.
  6. Season with salt. Add more salt and dried basil leaves according to your taste.
  7. Note: Only start cooking the tuna when your pasta is just a few minutes from getting done. That way, the pasta is mixed with the sautéed tuna while it's still hot to incorporate the taste.
