Spicy Tuna and Linguine - One Dish Meal

THIS WAS A TERRIFIC MEAL! I am even attaching pics of the youngest around the table tonight enjoying their delicious dinner.

Recipe
2tbs olive oil                              2 1/2c chopped plum tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, minced                 1 can Chicken broth plus 1 cup water
2c sliced mushrooms                   1/2tsp salt
1/2c chopped onion                     1/2 tsp pepper
1/2tsp crushed red pepper           1pkg fresh linguine
1pkg tuna

In a 12" skillet, heat olive oil, saute garlic, mushrooms, onion and red pepper until golden brown.  Add tomatoes, chicken broth, salt and pepper and bring to a boil

Add linguine by strands and spoon sauce over.  Reduce heat to simmer cook for another 4min on low. Toss gently and add tuna to the mixture.  Toss again.

I did not add the mushrooms or the onion because I forgot! I also used cayenne pepper instead of crushed red pepper and 1 can of chili tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.  Instead of adding salt, I used 1 jar of drained artichoke hearts!

The sauce is very liquidy but it isn't supposed to be thick either.  This made enough to serve 6 with at least 1 bowl of left overs.  Again another meal for under $10 (this one was actually closer to $5)!!! (If you check your paper for the Butoni Linguine coupon you can get it for $1 off.  I used it at Homeland and I got it for  $.99! ) The tomatoes were also on sale and with coupon at Homeland they were FREE!

Hope you enjoy this recipe and as you see you can make it your own.
