I like to use the oil from the canned tuna for this preparation for the sauce.

The valuable omega-3 fatty acids contained in the tuna and in the oil migrate into the dish. Omega-3 fatty acids are particularly healthy!

Here I give you in advance some inspiration for your pasta dish. Imagine it’s summer, very hot, your loved ones are already sweating all day.

On such a day you could serve the pasta in the evening on the terrace as a pasta salad.
