Tasty Tuna Pasta
This Mediterranean-inspired dish combines tender rigatoni pasta with a savory tomato sauce infused with fragrant onions, garlic, and a hint of heat from green chili. The addition of flageolet beans and tuna brings hearty flavors to the dish, while a dollop of creamy creme fraiche or quark adds a touch of richness. Perfectly paired with a side of sharp green salad and warm garlic bread, this recipe promises a delightful meal that blends comfort and flavor effortlessly.
