1 large onion, finely minced
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 can tuna in olive oil (6 or 8 oz, whatever it comes in)
3 Tbs butter
1/2 cup olive oil
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Basically this is the garlic and olive oil pasta kicked up for lent. This is our favorite Friday meal. Put 3 Tbs butter and 3 Tbs olive oil in frying pan along with onion. Brown onion till its medium/dark in color (this takes a while, maybe 20 minutes). If it gets dry in the pan add a bit more butter or oil. Once brown add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Add tuna (drain some of the oil from the can) and break up so there are no large pieces. Add a few shakes of salt and pepper.
Boil pasta in salted water (1 Tbs salt for each quart of water). In a serving bowl put the rest of the olive oil (about 1/4 cup) and a scoop of the water that the pasta is boiling in. Add the tuna mixture. Add cooked pasta to this and toss with as much parmesan as you like (about 1/4 cup).
