Tomato Tuna Spaghetti Recipe

Posted by Mabel at 10:53 PM

You can find Jason Marketplace at #SAVOUR and it is an exciting shopping place! You can sample a lot of interesting products and see things that you have not seen before.

Last year, we bought a lot of spread from #SAVOUR, and this year, we bought a lot of fruits – #Tomatoes, Strawberry and Grapes!

 
And one very interesting thing that we bought is a French #Tomato. Yes, is only one and this one French tomato cost us $6.50! We were told by the salesperson that this tomato is grown from a 100 year old seedling and it is a very good #cooking material. Haiz…. As a sucker for new things, WE BOUGHT IT!

 
As you can tell, the shape looks weird…. The colour is different from the normal tomatoes that we see in the market…. And interestingly, there isn’t a lot of seeds in the tomato!

 
The tomato is pretty big so I used half of it to make Tomato #Tuna #Spaghetti. And the other half, I sliced it, added some shredded cheese on top of it and baked it in the oven.

Here’s the recipe for my Tomato Tuna Spaghetti:
Serving for 2

Ingredients:
- 1 bundle of spaghetti or any kind of pasta

- 1 red onion, chopped

- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped

- 3 heirloom tomatoes, diced

- A handful of cherry tomatoes, diced

- A can of tuna

- 6 big stalks for mushroom

Seasoning:
- Half teaspoon of salt

- A little sugar

Method:
1) Bring to boil a pot of water with some salt, and add in the pasta

2) Heat up some oil in the pan and add in the tuna, onion and garlic

3) When fragrance, add in the mushroom and tomatoes

4) Add in the seasoning when the tomatoes softened

5) Toss in the al dente pasta and one small bowl of pasta water, and let it simmer

6) When the pasta soften, dish out and serve

Under the ingredient section, I have indicated 3 heirloom tomatoes to replace with the French tomato that I have used. The size of 3 heirloom tomatoes should be justifiable for the replacement of the French tomato. As for the taste, the French tomato tastes very good! It is more flavourful as compared to the normal heirloom tomatoes, so there might be some difference in outcome.

The original recipe I added around half a bowl of #pasta water, but the pasta is a bit too dry. So I adjusted the recipe a little, instead of half, I added a full bowl of pasta water to simmer. If you prefer something less dry, you can add more!

We enjoyed our pasta dinner! So hope you will enjoy this recipe too!
