Ingredients
- 200 g macaroni
- 1 tin (170 g) tuna in water
- 2 large eggs
- 200 g crushed tomatoes
- 80 g onion
- 12 g extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Method, step by step
- Put the eggs in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes; drain, cool under running water, peel and cut into quarters.
- Cook the macaroni in plenty of salted water for the time on the packet until al dente; drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic and sauté them in a large frying pan with the olive oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and the oregano, season with salt and pepper and let it reduce over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring, until you have a thick sauce.
- Drain the tuna well, add it to the sauce and stir for a couple of minutes so it absorbs the flavour.
- Add the macaroni to the frying pan and toss with the sauce; divide between two plates or lunch containers and top with the hard-boiled egg quarters.
