Pasta with Tuna & Olives
Ingredients:
1 lb. whole wheat pasta, or whatever you like
6 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbl. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 can tuna in water
1 jar pasta sauce, whatever kind you like
1 can black olives, chopped
3 cups chopped greens (I used swiss chard)
Directions:
Cook pasta according to directions. While it cooks, heat oil in a large skillet and add garlic. Cook until just golden, then add red pepper, salt and tuna (including the water in the can). Break up the tuna with a spoon, then add sauce, olives and greens. Stir to combine and continue heating until everything is warm. Spoon sauce mixture over pasta and eat up!
Thanks Michelle for this fab recipe.
