PROCEDURES:

Making the sauce for the pasta:

Heat a non-stick frying pan, add the olive oil from the TUNA FLAKES and the chopped onions and stir until light brown then add the chopped parsley.

Add the fresh tomatoes and cook until the sauce will appear creamy then sprinkle a pinch of the mix herbs and stir, add the oyster sauce and after 2min add the tuna flakes and let simmer for 5min.

For the pasta:

Bring to boil 2,5Lt of water then add the broth cube and 2tbsp. of olive oil, add the pasta and mix often to avoid sticking.

NOTE: Check the cooking time on the pasta’s box, since every shape has different duration. I suggest to reduce the cooking time of 2min respect the indication on the box.

Drain the pasta but leave some cooking water aside, you might need if the sauce will thicken too much, Heat the sauce and add the pasta in it, cook thoroughly for 2min then serve.
