Tuna Fish pasta.

Today was a nice and sunny day, so I took the opportunity to pick some Oregano to dry for storage. That's when I thought about a tuna fish dish that my mother-in-law made (many times) for me in Sweden. I'd make this dish once every few weeks, even though my husband despise it.

My Oregano plants that I grew in a large pot along with two other herbs. Don't be discourage about gardening if you don't have a yard. You can still do container gardening and you'd be surprised at how much food you can grow in them.

Ingredients for Tuna fish pasta:

1 can Tuna fish
1 can diced tomatoes--(or 2 cups fresh tomatoes)
Two sprig of fresh Oregano--(1 tsp. dried)
1 Leeks
Thin Spaghetti Pastas

Boil the pastas.
Chop the leeks and oregano.
In a non-stick skillet cook the leeks and oregano on Med-high. I don't use oil, only 1 TBS water to cook the leeks, a healthier option. But you can fry it in a little olive oil if you like. The oil will bring out more of the leeks strong onion-garlic flavors.

After the leeks are cooked add tuna fish, tomatoes, and salt to taste. Mix them well, cover, and let it simmer for a few minutes. While the tuna sauce is simmering check on your pasta, drain, and plate them.

Sprinkle with some radish flowers and some Tabasco sauce, for a little kick!
I've let some of the radish plants bolts. I like to use them as garnishing, plus they are tasty too. They produce beautiful purple/white flowers which are a little spicy just like the radish bulbs.
