Today, I’m Going to Teach you how to Make Instant Tuna Spaghetti

Not like you’d take culinary pointers from someone whose diet includes instant noodles, and canned foods, and fried everything — fried egg, fried fish, fried chicken nuggets — I know.

But I’m trying to help here, cut me some slack, because I believe in my heart that somewhere out there there’s someone like me who’s struggling with trying to get a decent meal something new on her plate once in a while, I mean, you’ve gotta give your body a break from Lucky Me Pancit Canton too, right?

So. Before I start my workday, I’m going to educate you about the amazing things you can do with Century Tuna, and 30 minutes of your day in the kitchen.

Ingredients for Tuna Spaghetti

First off, the ingredients:

  • One can of Century Tuna (Lite, if you’re worried about getting fat)
  • One 150g pack of Del Monte Tomato Sauce (or whatever brand you prefer)
  • One small can of Libby’s Vienna Sausage (an alternative to ham, bacon, or salami)
  • Your favorite brand and type of pasta (penne, linguine, angel hair, alphabet noodles, whatever suits you)
  • Butter (fine, get the Lite version too, paranoid!)
  • Salt, and pepper (just for kicks)

Optional:

  • Parmesan (if you’re like me who stocks up on Parmesan and mozzarella cheese in her ref as secret ingredients to everything — I should teach you that Cheesy Fish Fillet recipe of mine next)
  • Green bell pepper (I wasn’t able to buy some because I didn’t really plan on making tuna spaghetti yesterday)
  • Tomato Paste (if you like the somekinda-sour Italian style rather than the sweet-Filipino taste)
  • Herbs/Spices, i.e. Rosemary, Italian Spices, or Basil (I think I put in some basil in there)
