Linguine with Tuna and Broccoli

I'm not a huge tuna fan, except that once in a blue moon tuna sandwich, but with a new diet comes new foods. I'm not huge of fish alone. Something to do with this lady I knew as a kid and she got a fish bone stuck in her throat and she had to go to the ER to get it removed. I think that alone scarred me for life!

This is a really great busy week night meal. A can or two of tuna cooked with garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and linguine (or your pasta of choice) cooked with broccoli. Perfect. Only one pot and one skillet, now I definitely like that!
