Vegetable Tuna Pasta image

Quick and easy to make, and healthy too. When it comes to these kinds of recipes, I like and enjoy the contrast of colours, because we, of ocurse, eat with our eyes first. Cooking time will include the cooking of the pasta, even though it has already been cooked by the time you go through the steps of the directions, below.

1 (170 g) can tuna, drained

2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup red sweet bell pepper, diced
salt and pepper
1/3 fresh basil
1/4 cup chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Let angel hair pasta cool slightly, after being cooked.
  • In a large, heavy duty frying pan, heat olive oil on medium high heat. Saute onion for five minutes, or until translucent, and then add garlic for another three minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add all the vegetables and saute for another 5 minutes. At this point, add the pasta to the frying pan, and saute until angel hair pasta has warmed up again. Be sure to mix the ingredients well, while sauteeing.
