A: So, I’ll tell you about how to prepare my favourite dish.
A: Do you see the same thing on your monitor or something else?
B: No, it doesn’t say anything here.
A: Nothing? Okay, fine.
A: One second, I have to think about how I prepare this dish.
A: So, what I especially like/
A: You know, most people like a classical Bolognese sauce with pasta, right.
A: I don’t like Bolognese made with meat as much.
A: FLEISCH1A
A: fleisch
A: I replace that with fish. I make a tuna sauce with red tomatoes and pasta.
A: It tastes fantastic. It tastes better than meat Bolognese with pasta, I think.
A: FLEISCH1B*
A: fleisch
A: Okay, so how do you make it.
A: First, yeah, um/
A: First/
A: So, first you have to/
A: So, you prepare the pasta as you normally would. Basically, it’s the same dish, you just take tuna instead of meat. Canned tuna.
A: In principle everything is the same, except that you replace the meat with tuna. The one from the can.
A: FLEISCH7
A: fleisch
B: So, you put that in the sauce instead.
A: You can buy that in any store, anywhere.
A: ROSA2*
A: It’s a pink tin. In simple stores like Aldi or Lidl you can’t buy it.
A: rosa
A: You only get it in really good stores like Edeka.
A: There they have it. The tin is pink. I don’t know which brand it is right now.
A: Mostly, the tin is pink and when you open it, it also contains O-L-I-V-E-N [olive] oil.
A: ÖL3
A: öl
A: Yes, I mostly take the one with olive oil, but not with sunflower oil, not that one!
A: The sunflower oil affects the taste, it doesn’t really taste good.
A: Olive oil is more refined, it goes a lot better with tuna and really tastes fantastic.
A: So, you take the tuna tin, open it and then/
A: I always take a small pot to heat up everything.
A: You open the tin/
A: I’ll leave out how to cook the pasta.
A: You take off the lid and pour some of the oil from the tin into the pot.
A: Of course you shouldn’t use too much oil. I don’t pour in all the oil from the tin. Just a little, so that the bottom of the pot is covered. Then it starts to sizzle.
A: In the meantime, I chop an onion. Not much, half an onion, into small cubes.
A: Then, I put them in the pot and cover it with the lid.
A: I add a pinch of salt and put on the lid.
A: I let it simmer and simmer. That really brings out the flavours. I leave it like that for a while.
A: In the meantime, I boil the pasta. I put salt in the water, add the pasta, just as you normally do.
A: And next, um/
A: Then I take the tuna, the canned fish.
A: thunfischfleisch

A: FISCH1*
A: $PROD*
A: FLEISCH7*
A: IN1*
A: I add it to the pot and squash or mash it. It has to be mashed finely, like with a fork.
A: When the tuna is all mashed, put the lid back on the pot and let everything simmer and steep together.
A: The mixture has to be really smooth and fine, then it’s done well.
A: Then/
A: Okay, I got the fish prepared. And then/
A: Oh man, I’m the worst. Um, well, then that’s done.
A: Next are the tomatoes. What are they called again? P-A-S-I-O-N or something like that [intended: “passiert”, meaning pureed], in a container. It’s like a tomato sauce.
A: I forgot the name. Anyway.
A: So, I open up the container/
A: I just don’t remember the name.
A: I put the content in the pot, so that it is about half filled including all the ingredients.
A: I let it simmer and blend for a while, add a pinch of salt and a little pepper and it’s done.
A: At the end, I add some heavy cream.
A: The taste of pure tomato sauce is too strong to me.
A: I don’t like it that much.
A: That’s why I add a bit of heavy cream, to attenuate the taste.
A: So I add that, mix everything and it’s done.
A: You prepare the pasta the regular way, with oil and so on. And that’s it, that’s all, actually.
A: You add the sauce to the pasta and mix it all. With cheese.

A: dazu
A: I always put the cheese on the pasta first and then pour the sauce on top of the cheese.
A: Then it’s hot enough between the two layers for the cheese to melt completely. I can’t get enough of that, it’s so yummy.
A: But I don’t use regular cheese for that, I take M-O-Z-Z-A-R-E-L-L-A.
A: That melts nicely and produces these cheese strings. I love eating those, that’s so yummy. Yes.
A: That’s how you cook my favorite dish.
