Here's how to make a cheap and healthy Tuna Pasta with pesto. This tuna pasta recipe is quite easy to make and super tasty. When I don't have any dinner ideas, this is often a go to dinner to cook.
Recipe:
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 1/2 Cups of Onion (1 medium onion chopped)
1 1/2 Cups of Zucchini (Chopped)
1 1/2 Cups of Celery (1/2 Zucchni Chopped)
1 1/2 Cups of Mushrooms (Chopped)
3 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp of butter (optional)
4 tbsp of Pesto
8 oz of Pasta (Any type)
1 Egg
2 Cans of Drained Tuna
Instructions:
1. In a large pan on medium high heat, add oil. When hot, add onion and fry for 1-2 minutes, then add zucchini and celery. Add butter if you want more flavour and don't mind the calories.
2. Bring water in a large pot to a boil, salt to taste, and cook your pasta till al dente, so that it has a bit of a bite to it but isn't crunchy. Strain pasta but keep a few tbsp of the pasta water to add if pasta is too dry.
3. Add mushrooms, garlic, and salt to taste in the pan and fry for a few minutes. Add the tuna and break down into flakes. Add the pasta, and if the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the pasta. Add an egg, mix it quickly to make sure the egg doesn't overcook. Garnish with Parsley and ground pepper.
