Spicy Tuna Spaghetti


If you are looking for something spicy, mouthwatering, easy to make and budget-friendly to cook, I've got you covered! Spicy Tuna Spaghetti is indeed the ANSWER! With only few ingredients, it really is hassle-free. This recipe is best for those who doesn't have enough time to cook complicated dishes, 5 minutes is all you need from preparation time to cooking and plating. Another good thing is, every ingredient in the recipe is easy to find and if you are frugal, the ingredients are inexpensive.

What I bought on the grocery are like the tipid-packs! 😅 For the pasta and sauce, I bought Fiesta Spaghetti with Three-Cheese Sauce Pack for only Php 59 and for the spicy tuna, I used canned spicy tuna, I bought it for Php 26. Buying some of the ingredients like garlic, onion and celery are expensive on groceries or supermarkets, I suggest buying it on a wet market. 

Once a week, my husband and I go to a wet market to buy fresh produce and then we'll stock it at home to be used for the whole week. We usually do separate lists of things to buy on the wet market and in the grocery. In that way, we can save some cash, we've been comparing prices of fresh produce on groceries and wet market and there's a huge difference. Like for example, garlic, on groceries it usually cost around Php 40 for 5 pieces while on wet markets, you can buy it at Php 20. (I'm just not sure if all wet markets sell goods at the same price range.)

Anyway, here's the Spicy Tuna Spaghetti Recipe!

Serves: 4 to 6 persons 

INGREDIENTS:

450g Spaghetti Noodles 

Sauce:
  • 2 tbs. cooking oil ( I only have olive oil at the time that I filmed the recipe video but canola or vegetable oil will do) 
  • 1/2 cup onion
  • 1/4 cup garlic
  • 1 can (155g) spicy tuna 
  • 1/2 cup celery 
  • 2 cups of spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce (if you used tomato sauce add a tsp. of sugar so it could neutralize the sourness)
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbs. dried basil leaves 
PROCEDURE:
  1. Cook the spaghetti noodles. (read the instructions at the back of the pack)
  2. While cooking the spaghetti noodles, on a separate pan, saute onion until it is translucent and then stir in the garlic. 
  3. Once the garlic is a bit browned, add the canned spicy tuna and stir.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of celery, stir and let it simmer. If you love celery, you can add more but don't go over 1 cup!
  5. Mix in the spaghetti or tomato sauce, season it with salt, pepper and dried basil leaves, stir for a bit, let it simmer, your noodles should be ready by now, prepare for plating and your done!
