Provided by rsams

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

12 ounces linguine pasta
1 (15-ounce)can diced tomatoes with liquid
1 medium sweet onion, cut in 1/4-inch julienne strips (use an onion such as Vidalia or Walla Walla)
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth (use regular broth and NOT low sodium)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch (about 10 to 12 leaves) basil, diced
Parmesan cheese for garnish

Steps:

Place pasta, tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a large stock pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Sprinkle on top the pepper flakes and oregano. Drizzle top with oil. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated - I left about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot - but you can reduce as desired . Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add basil leaves and stir pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot evenly throughout the pasta as you are serving. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.

Categories One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

6 ounces orzo pasta
2 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna, drained
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup kalamata olive, pitted
2 teaspoons capers
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 -2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried) (optional)
1 -2 teaspoon basil (fresh or dried) (optional)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (pre-grated is fine)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

Boil water and stock in a large pot.
Add orzo and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
While orzo is cooking, process olives, capers, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and optional herbs in a blender or food processor until it resembles a course paste (i.e. tapenade).
When orzo is cooked, drain it, return it to the pot and stir in the tapenade to coat the noodles. Add more olive oil if it seems dry.
Mix in flaked tuna, tomatoes, parmesan, garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper.
Stir well and serve.

Tips:

Use a large pot: This will prevent the pasta from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
Add salt to the water: This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from becoming bland.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions: Different types of pasta have different cooking times, so be sure to follow the directions on the package.
Reserve some of the pasta cooking water: This can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the pasta if it becomes too dry.
Add the vegetables and protein to the pot towards the end of the cooking time: This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until you achieve the desired flavor.
