Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups finely sliced celery
2 medium onions, finely diced
2 -3 tablespoons oil ( olive or canola are fine)
1 cup tomato paste
1 (800 g) cans diced tomatoes
2 (425 g) cans tuna in brine ( save the brine)
2 cups water
1 -2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 -3 cups grated tasty cheese ( or your favorite)
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
cornflour or water, if needed
3 -4 cups of hot cooked pasta ( we use shells, penne or spaghetti)
Directions:
Place sliced celery, diced onions and oil in a large saucepan.
Stir.
Cook until tender.
Add diced tomato, tomato paste, all of the brine and 2 cups of water and Lemon Juice.
Bring to the boil checking and stirring occasionally so as not to burn.
Flake tuna with a fork and add to pot.
Warm through; now add grated cheese and Parmesan stir until thoroughly blended.
Season to taste with salt and pepper (I find it’s salty enough from the brine).
Thicken with a little cornstarch and water if needed.
Place hot pasta in bowls and pour “sauce” on top.
Enjoy!
