Easy Linguine Del Mar
"This meal is inspired by the traditional Linguine Del Mar of any Italian restaurant, the twist is that it won't cost fancy restaurant prices to make!"
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
2-4
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb linguine (or any other fav pasta)
- 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna fish (the albacore in water is the best, but the dark tuna is okay too)
- 1⁄2 red onion (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups spaghetti sauce (I enjoy either Paul Newman's or Classico's marinera or tomato and basil sauces)
- 2 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 1⁄2 cup parmigiano
directions
- Cook pasta as directed on the box but don't drain until the sauce is done and your ready to serve!
- Drain the water from the two cans of tuna and set aside.
- Warm a large skillet over med-low with olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot (sizzles when you flick water on it) add your chopped garlic and onions and saute (approx 4 min or until onions caramelize).
- Add both cans of tuna to the skillet, and allow to brown stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or similar tool (approx 2 min).
- Add your spaghetti sauce to the skillet and fold the onions and tuna into the sauce so that it is evenly coated.
- Once the sauce begins to bubble turn your flame down to low and cover, let simmer for 2min.
- Drain pasta and return to pot, add the sauce from the skillet and the parmigiana cheese.
- Bon Apetite!

I don't usually try recipes that haven't already been reviewed, but I was looking for a way to use up all the tuna I get from WIC and decided to give this a go. Man, am I glad I did!! My husband and I both enjoyed it and I'll be making it again soon. Thank you so much :o)
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am currently in college at UCDAVIS in Davis CA
I have always had a passion for food, cooking, eating, eating mostly ever since i came to college cooking has become more important than ever. With no mama in the kitchen and housemates who's every meal comes from a restaurant or the freezer or the microwave, i became the sole person in charge of my diet. However unlike at home where the cubboards and fridge was always filled with whatever my brothers and I craved, this was not the case, nor would it ever be on a budget of 50$/week. I started to utilize every possible source of how to eat well on a budget, i started to find out what foods were cheap (fresh/frozen produce, in season fruit, grains and legumes) and what was not so cheap (bags of chips, prepared frozen dinners, the entire snack food isle haha) and through this i began creating meals that were not just filling and cheap, but yummy and healthy. I got so good at it that my entire house (thats 5 other people besides me 3 of which are BIG eaters) has grown somewhat dependent on my cooking. I even get called mama sach from time to time.
About me personally, i love the foodnetwork, i love to workout (run, gym, weights, soccer), i am double majoring in Communications and Psychology and i have a passion for life. I grew up in Santa Monica, which is a beach community of LA, and began taking an intrest in cooking at an early age. I love the beach (and miss it since i live 2 hours inland) and the sun. I enjoy a good beer, a good movie, and a good time, especialy with good people!!
