1 onion finely sliced
1 zucchini finely sliced
1 carrot grated
1 tsp dried oregano

Fry onion, zucchini and carrot till tender, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 5 mins. Add sauce to pasta and enjoy!

Pasta is so good as a quick meal, I usually keep a jar of pesto in the fridge for emergencies.

I've never used tuna with pasta although I've made "tuna noodle" casserole, so I don't know why tuna spaghetti sounds strange to me. Thanks for the good idea.

My favorite "go to" fast pasta dinner is Spaghetti Carbonera. I use American bacon instead of traditional Italian pancetta.

i guess my quickest pasta dish is alla vongole made with canned clams.

put pasta in boiling water. in a skillet, add a small minced onion and crush a few cloves of garlic, toast in evoo and butter, add a can of chopped clams with juice and another whole baby clams with juice, simmer for a coupla minutes until the pasta is done. drain pasta and toss with clams, chopped parsley, and grated parmesan cheese.

less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
