I usually buy canned fish packed in olive oil rather than in water, for added flavor, and for the infused olive oil that can add flavor to the dishes. I also prefer canned fish from Europe as they taste better to me.
Here is the tuna pasta from my kitchen:
Ingredients
a can of tuna packed in olive oil, tuna and oil separated
frozen peas
a box of rotini
fried minced garlic (or fresh minced garlic)
salt and pepper
Ingredients

The white stuff is the oil from a canned tuna that I reserved from the other dish. |
Bought this jar of tuna from Costco the other day. |
How
- Cook rotini pasta in accordance with the instructions on package. Do not add any oil into the water for cooking pasta. Only add salt.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat up a deep frying pan.
- Add the olive oil from the canned tuna into the pan then add the fried minced garlic. Cook on low heat until fragrant.
- Turn the heat to high and add the frozen peas. Stir until they are thawed and heated through, about 3 minutes.
- Add tuna. Use the spatula to break the tuna into small pieces.
- Drain the cooked pasta and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- Add the pasta into the pan and stir well. Add the pasta water a little bit at a time until the pasta mixture reaches a consistency to your like. You don't have to add all the pasta water. Continue to stir for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Add salt to taste then serve hot.
