\n\"PastaWithTuna\"
\nA day in the city.Rome<\/a> that is..always makes me hungry..and hungry enough for a plate of pasta<\/a> with tuna<\/a> and a tomato sauce<\/a>.
\nBest served with spaghetti<\/a> or linguini<\/a>.
\nReally a light dish ..no cheese<\/a> since there is fish<\/a> on top..served with a chilled refreshing dry white wine<\/a> to make this a perfect lunch or dinner. I prefer my pasta meals in the afternoon..gives me more energy for the rest of the day.\u00a0
\nA handful of\u00a0 fresh parsley<\/a> adds a perfume to this dish and a trip\u00a0 to the local open air market here in Rome was a necessary trip..no garden here at the city house.
\nThe recipe is a simple one..
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pasta with tuna<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 lb spaghetti<\/p>\n

1 can Albacore tuna<\/p>\n
