Whole wheat spaghetti with tuna, basil, and butter sauce (adapted from yummy magazine)

Ingredients

• 500 grams whole wheat spaghetti noodles
• 6 tablespoons Queensland butter
• 16 dried basil leaves
• 4 cans Century Tuna in vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons (squares) Knorr chicken cubes
• 6 tablespoons Queso (Parmesan cheese would have been better, but I had a tight budget)
• salt and pepper to taste (optional; I didn't have to use this because the tuna, basil, and butter were flavorful enough)

Preparation

• Cook noodles according to package directions.
• Melt butter over low-medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the basil, cooking until the basil turns dark green. After a minute or two, set aside the basil leaves. Toss in tuna.
• Add the chicken broth to the tuna and butter sauce followed by the pasta and cheese. Toss to coat. Add some pasta water if the sauce is too dry.
• Turn off heat. Top pasta with basil leaves (and more cheese) before serving. :)
