Pasta with tuna and cherry tomatoes

If theres one dish that will be recurring in my recipes that is pasta. I love pasta! So quick to cook and so easy to make different dishes! Anyway there are two ways of cooking Pasta with Tuna and Tomatoes and I will upload the next recipe too. However this is a quicker and lighter version of the main one!

Ingredients for 1 person

• 100g Pasta - i used Rigatoni
• 1 tin of tuna
• 1 garlic clove
• A handful of cherry tomatoes (I didn't find any in the supermarket but they taste the best for this recipe)
• Chilli flakes (to your taste)
• Salt, pepper and Olive Oil

Method

1. Fill a saucepan with boiling water and place on the highest heat with a lid.
2. Put a glug of olive oil in a frying pan with a garlic clove (leave whole). Put this at a low heat as we do not want the garlic to burn.
3. Add the tuna to the olive oil and let cook for a couple of minutes at low heat.
4. When the water for the pasta is boiling, add some salt to the water and then add the pasta. Make sure you check the cooking time and set a timer, but aproximately pasta takes 10 minutes to cook.
5. Chop the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the frying pan with some chili flakes and keep on stirring.
6. When the pasta is ready strain it, add it to the frying pan and stir it all together. Add another glugg of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
7. It should look better than it does in my photo. Cherry tomatoes will create more of a thicker sauce for the pasta.
