Sauce
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- 600g / 21oz Canned Chopped Tomatoes (Equivalent to 1 & ½ 400g / 14oz can)

Instructions
Pasta (cook while sauce is simmering)
- Cook the pasta according to the packaging. Drain reserving around ½ cup of cooking liquid
Sauce
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, reduce to medium-low and cook for around five minutes, until turned translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
- Add the canned tomatoes and olives, breaking down any larger tomato pieces with a wooden spoon. Allow to simmer for 2 mins.
- Add the tuna (drained) to the pan, breaking up any chunks of tuna with a wooden spoon. Allow simmering for 10-15 mins. Taste and season accordingly (do not season if serving a baby.)
- Add the cooked pasta and stir into the sauce. If the pasta seems a little dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water and stir through.
Notes
Canned Tomatoes: You can use crushed or chopped tomatoes. If you prefer a smoother sauce then replace with passata.
Serving Suggestions: Delicious served with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
