TUNA IN TOMATO SAUCE WITH LINGUINI

TUNA IN TOMATO SAUCE
WITH LINGUINE

Ingredients
1 package (8 oz.) linguine or spaghetti
1 can (8 oz.) imported oil-packed tuna
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
1 tsp. dried marjoram
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Prepare pasta according to manufacturer's instructions. Meanwhile, cook tuna with its oil and garlic over medium heat in a medium skillet until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the tomato sauce, marjoram and pepper. Lower heat; simmer to blend flavors, about 15 minutes.

Drain pasta; place in a large bowl. Add sauce; toss to coat pasta. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Makes 4 servings.

Notes: Don't use water-packed tuna; you want all the richness olive oil can give tuna fish. For a zestier dish, add pitted Greek or Italian black olives, sauteed red pepper strips or anchovies. Make your own tomato sauce if you have time, using either canned diced tomatoes or fresh.
