How to make Tuna Sauce

When all there is in the house is Tuna, tomato and some pasta: What do you do?

What I do when I only have a few things in house like Tuna is:
Garlic crushed, olive oil then I add 3 or 4 fillets of anchovies which I try to always have in the fridge as I buy and use them sparingly whether on pizza or pasta sauce.

Then I add tomatoe (if fresh cut into small pieces but mainly I have tomato puree or the paste. Then I add together with the tuna fish plus some salt, pepper or chilli.
Cook it slowly..when the sauce is reduced thick remove from heat and in the meantime you have boiled or boiling your pasta and serve with the tuna sauce

My friend is working Mommy in Italy and so she does not have much time to during the week so she makes all these kind of sauces and she stores in the freezer and every evening she has everything ready.

What containers to use for storage?
Never mind, make it a habit of keeping those jam/marmalade bottles and they really are useful to me in storing food like this.

Avoid using plastics for storing food not for anything but watch out what's in those plastic bottles read my post herePlastic Poison?: Bisphenol A or bpa an enemy in fridge store on our tables

Everyday thoughts of a girl from the slopes:

What would I do differently if I were to go back in the lands around the slopes of Mt. Kenya?

1) A lot of food conservation - See, where I come from the land is rich and we have most of agricultural products produced in the area. From products to use locally up to the export products. During harvest time there is much of everything but most crops being perishable need to find market quickly, if not which was mostly the case would end up rotting like tomatoes, cabbages and carrots.
What would I do about this?

With a financial help I would set up a processing plant that would can or bottle some of these vegetables. Plus, especially fruit would make dried fruits that would later be packaged and sold in bigger cities and hopefully out of the country.

2. Herbal teas: Already there is a project where I went to high school that is doing this and I have been able to drink herbal teas from my district while in Italy. I would make herbal teas from other herbs in the region and export and also encourage people to drink herbal teas for their health.

3. Improved animal production chicken, rabbit and fish farming encouraging more farmers to turn also into production of these to improve diets and hopefully look for funds or joint ventures to modern slaughter house that will cater to providing to supermarkets.

Ok, now let me not spill all the beans here this will be my base to changing the cooking in the slopes. Balanced diets as the base to improved health.
