Tuna Spaghetti Recipe

Tuna Spaghetti Filipino Style

     I was craving for the tuna spaghetti my aunt used to make us so I made some but added mushrooms. So here's my take on it!

Serves 4

Preparation + Cooking Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

500g (1 pound) spaghetti

2 cans tuna flakes in oil

1 370mL can of tomato sauce (preferably Filipino brands like UFC, Fiesta or Papa. If not using Filipino tomato sauce, add 4 tbsp ketchup and 2 tsp sugar. Filipino pasta sauce is sweet! or skip this if you don't want Filipino style.)

1 medium onion

1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook your pasta for 12-14 min or according to packaging instructions. Strain and set aside.

2. In a smaller pot with medium-high heat, sautee your onions and mushrooms until tender.

3. Add the tuna and cook for 2 minutes.

4. Add the tomato sauce, ketchup and sugar and let simmer until sauce thickens.

5. Add salt and pepper to taste.

6. Assemble your dish and enjoy! (Optional: Add grated cheese if you like, preferably Eden cheese brand.)
