Kids Cuisine

One of the foods that I gave my mom fits about as a kid was tuna.  It didn’t matter what she did; I wasn’t having it.  I am better now that I am older, but I still look for recipes that won’t bring back tuna memories from long ago.  Another pasta recipe in my lil’ teen series, the tuna is masked a bit by the other ingredients.  Just my style, which is why I am making it number 5 in Project Teen2Eat.

Tuna Spaghetti
A recipe by Phoebe from CosmoGirl

2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 can whole tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced green olives
1 can drained tuna
1 Tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound spaghetti
Parmesan cheese

Sauté the garlic in the olive oil at medium heat for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juice, mashing them all together with a wooden spoon. Once they’re well mixed, add the olives, tuna, parsley, oregano, and pepper flakes to the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes. While the sauce is simmering, boil the spaghetti in a separate pot. Once the spaghetti and sauce are done, serve the spaghetti with the sauce on top, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
