3 cans of chunky tuna
2 tbsp. dried basil leaves
1 tbsp. dried oregano leaves (optional)

595 g cheddar cheese

METHODS:

  • Fry onions & garlic in olive oil (low-medium heat)
  • Add dried chili flakes
  • Add tomato sauce
  • Add fresh basil leaves, dried basil and oregano leaves.
  • Add the tuna

  • Stir
  • Add the pasta to the salted boiling water
  • Drain the pasta once it’s al dente
  • Coat the pasta with the sauce
  • Transfer it into a baking pan
