Delightful sauce for pasta, and a good way to get a serving of healthy fish with Omega-3 oil.

This sounds so weird, but it really is tasty! It's a nice change from regular tomato sauce, which I tire of consistently. This one was a big winner with my boys. I mashed the tuna after it had sauted before adding the tomatoes, as I have seen it done that way in other recipes. Definitely a keeper!

EXCELLENT! I couldn't think of any changes I wanted to make so I made it 'by the book'. It is a delicious dish. I served it over Angel hair Pasta and was very well impressed. I froze the leftover sauce and it re-heated nicely. In addition it was quick and easy to make. A definite keeper for house and RV. I plan to always have a few servings on hand in the freezer for quick meals that have taste. Thanx for posting this great recipe. Pierre

This is simply wonderful! I used canned tuna in chilli tomato sauce as I didn't have any plain tuna. And I also used fresh tomatoes instead of canned. Didn't harm the recipe, in fact it made it yummi-er! Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe. Note - I pureed the sauce with my Braun hand-held.
