Ah, I see you don’t use store-bought jars of tomato-based pasta sauce but use blended fresh tomatoes with tomato ketchup instead. The lazy me rely on bottled tomato sauce/paste! :O
Kris, for this recipe, yes, I made the sauce but usually I use bottled pasta sauce also. But I will put a lot of fresh tomatoes, cook until they release juices then add small amount of bottled pasta sauce.
I have not cooked tuna with pasta as yet and I might try it one of these days.
PH, I have another tuna pasta recipe with broccoli, interested? ^__*
You bet! This pasta is a sure winner with everyone of all ages. I will make them this week. Yummy!
TM, hopefully you have a successful attempt!
