Tuna And Tomato Spaghetti Recipes

TUNA AND TOMATO SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.☞TESTER TIP: If you're using high-quality oil-packed tuna here, swap the tuna oil for olive oil when sautéing the garlic. It'll give you a more pronounced tuna flavor and involves less waste.
• Add the tomatoes and tilt the saucepan to swirl the ingredients together. Let the sauce cook for 2 minutes and then add the tuna. Use a wooden spoon to break up the tuna and continue to cook until it's warmed through, about 3 minutes more.
• Add 1/4 cup grated Romano, if using, reserving the rest to sprinkle on top. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.
• Stir in any of the optional additions, if using.
• Reduce the heat to low and cover to keep the sauce warm while you finish boiling the spaghetti.
• Drain the spaghetti, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the sauce and toss everything together. If the sauce isn't sliding and coating the noodles, add a little of the reserved pasta water and try tossing it again.
• Divvy the pasta among bowls and, if desired, sprinkle with the remaining Romano.

TUNA, TOMATOES AND SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat garlic in oil until lightly golden. Add tomatoes and their juices and heat for 20 minutes over low heat until tomatoes are really tender and almost melted. Crumble tuna into smaller pieces and add to tomato sauce. Simmer just to warm the tuna through; you don't want to boil the tuna. Transfer spaghetti to serving bowl and mix in tuna, tomatoes, parsley; and salt & pepper.
