Easy on the budget and appetizing on the plate, this dish from food writer Julie Aldis needs only warm Italian bread and a green salad for a casual company meal. Pass some Parmesan cheese for sprinkling if desired.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1 tsp dried Italian herb seasoning
- 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
- 4 cups penne or rotini pasta
- 1 can (6 1/2 oz/184 g) water-packed white tuna, drained and broken in chunks
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes, olives, herb seasoning, salt and pepper; bring to boil, breaking up tomatoes slightly with back of spoon. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add tomato mixture, tuna, feta cheese and parsley; gently toss to coat.
Additional information :
Tip: If you don't have dried Italian herb seasoning on hand, substitute 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dried rosemary and oregano.
