Grandma Rose Cerbo's Tuna and Spaghetti

Everyone who first hears of this recipe thinks it sounds like such an odd combination, but those who have dared to try it have loved it. I've never known anyone who has not! It's a favorite meal of ours any time of year, especially at the annual Princess Avenue Cookout each Labor Day weekend.

One 28 oz. can Kitchen Read Tomatoes (we use Pastene)
One 6 1/2 oz Bumble Bee Tuna in oil (chunk or Italian)
1 clove garlic
1 Tbl. Olive Oil
salt, pepper, basil, oregano to taste
1 cup water

Use 2qt. sauce pan to brown garlic and oil.

Remove garlic.

Add tomatoes, using cover of pan angled over pan, to avoid splashing.

Add 1 c. water, salt, pepper, oregano and basil.

Cook on low heat for a half hour.

Add tuna, including oil in the can and continue to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve over spaghetti.
