If you are looking for an easy quick recipe. Here's a recipe for tuna rigonati. Yes, tuna . This recipe brings me back to those college days where there was nothing in the fridge or pantry except for tuna, tomato sauce and a box of tuna. I first had this dish when visiting a friend and she had a huge pot on her stove. It's delicious and I've changed the recipe abit. Have fun with it add in different vegetables or different cheeses. Let's begin.
