Pasta
Note: salt the water in which you boil the pasta before you boil it- Tuna and onions
- - ingredients: pasta (short, rigata is preferable); olive oil; onions; canned tuna; (optional) olives
- set the pasta water on the stove and put olive oil in a pan on low heat; while they heat up, cut the onions (if the oil starts bubbling before you're done, move the pan)
- add onions to the pan (cover it if you prefer them to be softer); when the water boils, add pasta and set a timer following the instructions on the package
- when the onions are almost cooked, add the canned tuna; if it's "natural" (i.e. without oil or salt), add salt to the pan to taste; this is also when you may add the olives
- when the timer is done, drain the pasta and add it to the pan; mix it until it's even and you're done
- NOTE: be careful not to let the onions burn: stir them frequently and move the pan away from the fire if necessary
