AMAZING Canned Tuna & Pasta Stew | EASY 30 Minute One-Pan Recipe

Bienvenidos and welcome to another episode of Spain on a Fork. Today we're gonna grab some canned tuna. Truly one of the best pantry staples out there and we're gonna create an extraordinary recipe. We're talking a tuna and pasta stew. This is known in Spain as Fideos con Atun. And the material of this dish is filled with so many delicious flavors, made with the most affordable ingredients and the best part it's all done in a little over 30 minutes. Folks serve this dish next to a crunchy baguette and of course a bottle of Spanish wine. More specifically from the region of Castilla La Mancha you're gonna have yourself a nutritious and fulfilling meal. Alright let's begin by getting our ingredients ready. I'm gonna finely chop one small onion, roughly chop five cloves of garlic and finely chop one green bell pepper. For this recipe you can use whatever veggies you like or whatever you have on hand. And we'll also drain two cans of tuna in olive oil into a fine sieve with a bowl underneath. The size of the cans that I'm using are 110 grams, which is about 4 ounces each. And we'll gently flake the tuna to remove any of the excess oil. For the next step let's start cooking our dish. I'm gonna heat a stock pot with a medium heat. Then add in 3 tablespoons of olive oil from the canned tuna, which is 45 milliliters. If you're using tuna and water for this recipe just use extra virgin olive oil. After a couple minutes we'll add in the chopped vegetables and as always we'll mix this around continuously, that way everything evenly sautés. After 3 to 4 minutes and the vegetables are lightly sautéed I'm gonna add in 1 teaspoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika, which is two and a half grams and half a teaspoon of dried thyme, which is about half a gram. And we'll give it a quick mix, that way that paprika and thyme are evenly coating the vegetables. As always the Spanish paprika I'm using is from Kiva.

Then we'll add in a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce, which is 425 grams and season everything with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. And we'll give it a mix until everything's well mixed together and then simmer it for a few minutes without mixing the mixture. After 3 to 4 minutes and the tomato sauce has slightly thickened I'm gonna add in 4 cups of vegetable broth, which is about 950 milliliters. You can use other liquids here such as chicken broth, fish broth or even water. Either way link on how to make my homemade veggie broth in the description box below. And we'll turn it up to a high heat and give it a gentle mix. Once it comes to a boil it's time to add in the pasta. For this recipe I'm using fidel cut spaghetti. If you can't find this in your area just use regular spaghetti and break it into small pieces. I'm gonna measure out 1 cup, which is about 110 grams and add it into a stockpot. And you don't have to mix this around continuously but do get under every 1 to 2 minutes as this is gonna help release the starch from the pasta, which is gonna help slightly thicken up the stew. Once the pasta is just cooked al dente, which is exactly 7 minutes in my case, so make sure to check the package instructions in the pasta you're using, we'll add in the drained tuna, turn off the heat and give it one final mix. Then we'll remove the stockpot from the stovetop, transfer some of the stew into a serving dish and we'll garnish with some fresh parsley. Check it out, fideos con atun, a beautiful tuna and pasta stew. Super easy to make, the most affordable ingredients and the best part all done in just a little over 30 minutes.
