EASY NO BOIL PASTA BAKE

Easy No Boil Pasta Bake image

Campbell's used to make a jarred pasta bake sauce that I loved when my kids were little and time was short! When it was discontinued I discovered that the same recipe could be used with any jarred pasta sauce. My oldest son, who is away at college, asked me for some easy recipes that he can make with minimal mess and time and this recipe popped into my head... I thought I'd post it since I couldn't find any others like it on Zaar.

NO-COOK TOMATO-TUNA SAUCE WITH SPAGHETTI

No-Cook Tomato-Tuna Sauce with Spaghetti image

Blink and you'll miss this easy no-cook sauce recipe: Combine chopped tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, vinegar, and basil in a big bowl on the counter, and let them sit until they break down a bit. When the pasta is just cooked, toss it all together with a generous shower of grated Parmesan, which thickens and emulsifies the sauce, plus oil-packed tuna for a jolt of brininess and protein.
