PASTA AL TONNO
What exactly is Pasta Al Tonno you may be asking? Well it is simply pasta and tuna. A simple and delicious quick pasta meal that is beloved by many all over Italy. Why wouldn't it be? A rather smaller country surrounded by water makes for a typical cuisine dotted with all types of seafood found in the sea. Every region, family, restaurant has their own version of a pasta with tuna dish. This one is something my family has just always simply threw together for a quick yet delicious meal. If you try this I am sure you too will love it as much as we do. Pasta Al Tonno.

Now I know cheese shouldn't be served on seafood pasta, however we always loved a little parmesan tossed with this tuna pasta. To each their own!
