I return to the air from which the Egyptian revolution, together with the information blockade, pulled me out at the beginning, and then return to Moscow with a triple crossing from place to place. That is why I still have not written about the tuna paste that Olga prepared for me in our besieged life in Cairo :)

In general, I don’t remember where, but I had some contradictions with tuna paste, Olya tried to cook it for a long time, and I carefully avoided it. But this dish was just divine! And most importantly the recipe is so simple!

Habitual and orderly annoyed pasta today is no surprise anyone. But when you hear: "Today for lunch - pasta with canned tuna," you begin to understand that now you will eat not ordinary spaghetti, but something unusual that is served only in Italian restaurants. In fact, everything is much simpler. Even a beginning or unskilled hostess can cook such a dish. If someone does not believe, it is enough to remember our pasta in a naval manner. Is at least someone decides to admit that he does not know how to cook this dish? In the meantime, this is nothing but the Russian equivalent of an overseas dish. Well, or almost analog. However, quite the lyrics. It's time to move from words to deeds.

So, the heroine of our today's review - pasta with. We will reveal to you today the secrets of its preparation.

Do not be afraid of the overseas word "pasta". Even the Italians by it mean the same spaghetti, and pasta and other similar flour products. So the basis for the dish is well known to all of us. The only thing to do is choose the right ones. That is, we do not catch the first pack in the store, because the “price is right”, but carefully read what is written on the package. Ideally, it is advisable to go to the checkout with a package of products made from whole-grain flour. By the way, they contain most of the fiber that is so necessary for our body. As a result, the dish will turn out dietary. If, nevertheless, the cost of the basic basis for the future masterpiece makes you fall into a stupor, stop your choice on products made from durum wheat flour. But this is the threshold for which you should not cross. Acquisition of vermicelli of class “Extra” will lead to the fact that at the exit you will receive not overseas pasta, but porridge from a pasta a la dish from the local canteen.

When cooking, follow the golden rule: it is better to undercook than to digest. Therefore, always try in the process: your paste should be already as if soft, but still a little fragile.

And: never rinse the pasta under cold water! So you spoil not only the taste, but also the structure of the products. In simple words: your pasta with canned tuna will more resemble the same porridge, rather than an Italian dish. Here, perhaps, that's all. And now we will begin to get acquainted with cooking options. And the first will be with canned tuna and tomatoes.
