Ingredients

  • 7 oz (200 g), about 2 cups dry macaroni
  • 1 can (6 oz / 170 g), drained tuna in water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (200 g) crushed tomatoes
  • 3 oz (80 g), about 1/2 medium onion
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

How to make it, step by step

  1. Put the eggs in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes; drain, cool under running water, peel and cut into quarters.
  2. Cook the macaroni in plenty of salted water for the time on the package until al dente; drain and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic and saute them in a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  4. 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.
  5. Drain the tuna well, add it to the sauce and stir for a couple of minutes so it absorbs the flavor.
  6. Add the macaroni to the skillet and toss with the sauce; divide between two plates or lunch containers and top with the hard-boiled egg quarters.
