Spicy Tuna Pasta
Tuna Fish Pasta is a go to meal when I have nothing else in planned for dinner. It's such an easy meal to prepare and cook. The other day I was thinking about making it but I didn't have any fresh basil. Instead of basil I decided to add spices. The original recipe already contains ground cinnamon so I thought I would add a few more.
To be honest I was unsure of how this dish was going to work together. The flavour of these spices worked really well with the tuna. I think this will become our new winter go to meal. That's how good it was to eat!

Spicy Tuna Pasta
Spicy Tuna Fish Pasta was a delicious dinner we all enjoyed. As I mentioned earlier this is a quick and easy go to meal for me. You could make double of the tuna fish sauce and freeze it for another occasion. It was also delicious as leftovers the next day too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy.
