Farfallina, do you add the garlic back into the dish at any stage or is it just for flavouring before discarding it?  Also you haven't added the tuna to the sauce at any stage.  I presume that is added after step 4.

Thank a lot Judy 1!!! 
You are amazing!

I skipped 1 step
I correct it right away

Garlic was just for flavouring. I didn't add it back in the sauce

I made half quantity of this recipe for the current challenge.  I used a 95g can of sweet chilli tuna (quite spicy), did use the whole can of tomatoes and used 1 large clove confit of garlic and the oil from same.  A nice, easy meal to rustle up, especially when you have rice in the freezer. Thanks farfallina.

Serving it with rice is a great idea judy
Recently I've been using brown rice and i find it needs stronger flavoring than white rice
This can be one of the good options as sauce
