This is a perfect option when you don’t want to search for complex ingredients, or you simply don’t have much time for lunch.

• 1 can of tuna
• 250 g pasta (I used tagliolini, but spaghetti, tagliatelle, or pappardelle are even better)
• olive oil
• 1/2 onion (preferably sweet white onion)
• 3 tbsp. tomato paste (optional)

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta as directed on the packaging.

In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté the finely chopped half-onion until softened. Add the entire can of tuna and a bit of tomato sauce. Let it simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

When the pasta is almost ready, drain the water, mix the pasta with the sauce, and combine well. Serve with fresh basil leaves.
