     Title: Tuna & Tomato Pasta
Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Cheese, Herbs, Pasta
     Yield: 7 servings

     4 tb Unsalted butter
    28 oz Can of tomatoes; whole or
          - crushed
          Salt
     1 lb Pasta shells
   1/2 c  Ricotta cheese
     6 oz Can tuna in olive oil
   1/4 c  Fresh basil; chopped or torn
   1/2 c  (generous) grated Parmesan

 Simmer tomatoes with butter 30 min: Melt the butter in a
 medium pot on medium heat and add the can of tomatoes,
 including the juice. If you are using whole canned
 tomatoes (or fresh ones) crush them with your (clean)
 fingers as you put them in the pot. Simmer gently,
 partially covered, for 30 minutes.

 COOK PASTA: While the sauce is cooking, heat a large pot
 of well salted water to a strong boil. Add the shell pasta
 to the boiling water and cook at a vigorous boil,
 uncovered, until al dente, cooked through but still a bit
 firm to the bite, which is usually whatever the time
 specified on the pasta package minus about 2 minutes.
 Drain and set aside.

 Combine tuna, tomato sauce, ricotta, pasta, basil: Pour
 off the excess oil from the tuna can and stir the tuna
 into the tomato sauce. Add the ricotta cheese, and add
 salt to taste. Turn off the heat. Mix the sauce with the
 pasta in a large bowl. Mix in the basil.

 Put into casserole, top with parmesan, broil: Pour the
 pasta into a 2 to 3-quart casserole dish and top with the
 parmesan cheese. Put under a hot broiler for 4-6 minutes,
 until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve hot.

 Yield: Serves 6-8
