Potato Masher
Knife

2. Put pasta in saucepan with water.

3. Cut onion (any way, I did cubes) and fry in butter in frypan on medium heat.
4. Cut tomato in half and cube one half.
5. Smoosh other half with potato masher.
6. Add cubed tomato, and the liquid from smooshed tomato into the fry pan.

Comments:

This is a really easy meal, not many complicated flavours or sauces but with a little salt and pepper it's certainly worth the $2 the ingredients cost. 

Variations:

You can use anything you like to fry the onion - if you don't mind raw onion you can avoid the calories from frying it all together!

I added tuna afterwards to add a little meat but this is optional and any meat could be used really. 

Storage Instructions:

Haven't done so yet but it heats up well in the microwave the next day and I've heard that it can last up to a week refrigerated.
