What are some good non-meat recipes?!
Heyy!. I'm not a vegetarian, and neither is anyone in my family, but I was wondering if any of you had some good meals that didn't involve meat!? (we don't have any in the house at the moment)!.
We have tuna, so that can be included!.

TUNA PASTA
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
2 cloves of garlic
2 onions
2 tablespoons of olive oil
400g tin of plum tomatoes*
2 teaspoons of oregano or mixed herbs
400g tin of tuna in brine
Ground pepper to taste
400ml of water
? of a teaspoon of salt
200g of conchigle** pasta
METHOD
Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces!. Peel the onions and chop them into tiny pieces!.
Put the oil into a saucepan on a moderate heat!. Add the garlic and onion!. Fry the garlic and onion for about 2 minutes!. Stir them every half a minute or so!.
Open the tin of tomatoes!. Pour the juice into the pan!. Chop the tomatoes while they are still in the can (it’s easier than chasing them around the pan)!.
Put the chopped tomatoes into the pan!. Add the herbs!. Continue to cook, stirring as the mixture boils!.
Open the tin of tuna and drain off the brine!. Add the tuna!. Mix together gently, trying not to break up the tuna too much!. Season with the pepper!. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced!.
Put the water and salt into a saucepan and bring to the boil!. Put the pasta into the water!. Stir it to stop it sticking to the bottom of the pan!. Bring back to the boil and continue to cook, stirring to stop it sticking!.
Begin testing it about 2 minutes before the packet instructions say it should be done!. The best way to judge if pasta is cooked is to bite it!. This is tricky, because if you fish out a bit and stick in your mouth you may burn your mouth on the boiling water!. Wait a bit and blow on it, then bite it!. If it is hard it needs longer!. If it is chewy (or ‘al dente’, Italian for ‘to the teeth’) it is ready!. If it is soft it is overcooked!.
Drain the pasta in a sieve or colander!. Season with the pepper!.
Always ‘take the pasta to the sauce’!. Put the pasta in the pan with the sauce and stir until thoroughly coated!.
ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES
Add a 50g tin of anchovy fillets in olive oil!. Use the oil from this to fry the garlic and onions!. Chop up the anchovies and add them at the same time as the tomatoes!.
Serve with grated Parmesan cheese!.
* Plum tomatoes can be used either whole or chopped!. It is difficult to stick chopped tomatoes back together again if you need to use them whole!.
** Conchigle is the seashell-shaped pasta and just looks appropriate for a fish sauce!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
