Ingredients

  • 1 small onion
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 2.50 grams
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme .50 grams
  • 1 can tomato sauce 14.5 oz / 410 grams
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth 600 ml
  • 8 oz spaghetti 225 grams
  • 2 cans tuna in olive oil 4 oz / 110 grams each
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 8 grams
  • 2 tbsp grated Manchego cheese 15 grams
  • sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

  1. Drain the canned tuna into a fine sieve with a bowl underneath, gently flake the tuna to remove any excess olive oil

  2. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 3 tbsp (45 ml) of the olive oil from the canned tuna

  3. In the meantime, finely chop the onion and roughly chop the garlic

  4. Add the chopped ingredients into the hot fry pan, mix continuously, after 3 to 4 minutes and the onion is translucent, add in the paprika and dried thyme, quickly mix together, then add in the canned tomato sauce and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together and then simmer

  5. After 3 to 4 minutes and the tomato sauce has slightly thickened, add in the broth and raise to a high heat, gently mix together

  6. Once it comes to a boil, add in the spaghetti, mix every 1 to 2 minutes so the pasta doesn't stick together and it all evenly cooks

  7. After 7 to 8 minutes and most of the broth has been absorbed but there is still plenty of liquid left, place a lid on the pan and lower to a low medium heat, simmer for 2 to 4 minutes or until the spaghetti is cooked al dente, then remove the lid and then the pan from the heat

  8. Add the reserved canned tuna over the pasta, along with the chopped parsely, mix together until well mixed

  9. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the pasta, serve directly out of the pan or transfer into serving dishes, enjoy!
