I had no idea what to eat one day - I wanted to make something cheap, easy, fast and tasty... I looked around to see what I had and I improvised... the result was amazing. I am guesstimating actual amounts since I wasn't measuring. Read more See less

Add items to your shopping list
- 1 can flaked tuna
- 1/2 can red kidney beans, washed (I had half can in the fridge already - a full can might be too much, but you can easily add another can of tuna and more pasta to accommodate)
- 1 carrot cut in cubes
- 1-1/2 small onions, chopped in little pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 3 cloves, gently crush it if you want it to release more flavour
- 2 cloves of garlic, grated (optional if you don't like garlic)
- salt, to taste
- 1 freah leaf of pudina (optional - it's an indian herb)
- vegetable oil - I'm guessing this was about 1/4 cup
- drizzle of sesame oil (I love the smell and flavour of sesame oil)
- 1-2 cups pasta, cooked and strained (the curly one is cute)
- dried parsley flakes for garnish (optional)

I like the sound of this and the fact that it is not over populated with beans.
The photo looks really good too.
I might break down and purchase some fresh tuna and perhaps grill it before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
Thank you for sharing.
