Description

In less than 30 minutes, you can be shoveling this into your belly! It also re-heats very well, so leftovers are a go.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Linguini (can Use Spaghetti Or Fettuccine)
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Sliced
  • ½  Red Onion, Diced
  • 5-⅝ ounces, weight Tuna, Drained
  • 14-½ ounces, weight Diced Tomatoes (drained)
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 cups Raw Baby Spinach, Ribboned
  • ½ cups Frozen Peas
  • Kosher Salt And Ground Black Pepper

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat. Meanwhile, prepare your pasta in a separate pot as per the package instructions.

Add garlic and onions into the saucepan; simmer until fragrant and onions are slightly translucent, 3–5 minutes. Stir often to avoid browning.

Add drained tuna, diced tomatoes, and Dijon. Hit it with some kosher salt and ground black pepper, and mix well. Simmer, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens a bit. Add the spinach and the frozen peas; stir to mix.

Once the pasta is ready and drained, add it to the saucepan. Mix well until all of the noodles are coated.
Serve immediately.

Delicious!! So quick and easy and my tuna hater asked for a second helping before realizing he was eating tuna!! I did not have the spinach or peas, so I did not use those, but I did everything else as written with spaghetti for the noodles. Thanks so much for a great recipe I’m sure I’ll use again and again!
