Fettuccine and Tuna

20150806:
Today I put together a simple dish with the aim of trying to cook a little bit more.

Ingredients:
Fettuccine - 1/4 box (2 servings)* | Soy sauce | Pasta sauce - 8 oz. | Tuna - 1 can

*I estimated using a quarter of the box, but I later found out that the box has several concentric circles for measuring out the amount of pasta.

Steps I Took:
1) Added some soy sauce to a pot of water and brought the water to boiling.
2) When the water started boiling, I took two ends of the bundle of fettuccine and broke it in half.*
3) I boiled the fettuccine for exactly eleven minutes (al dente).
4) Drained a can of tuna and mashed it at the bottom of a bowl.
5) Poured in the sauce and continued mashing.
6) Stirred the tuna and sauce in together with the pasta.

*I almost always break the bundle in half.

Comments:
The dish was delicious. The firmness of the pasta combined with the big tomatoes in the sauce went well with the texture and flavor of the tuna. 8:22PM PT

In hindsight, I wish I had an egg or two to cook and add to the dish.

An easy variation was to buy some (imitation) crab sticks / crab meat and add them instead of the tuna.

Like the tuna, it was helpful to mash the crab sticks in order to get a finer texture.
