CHEF JOHN'S SPAGHETTI AL TONNO



Chef John's Spaghetti al Tonno image

Spaghetti al tonno is one of my all-time favorite go-to pasta dishes. I love a classic meat sauce as much as the next half-Italian, but when I want something quick and easy for a weeknight meal, I reach for the tuna. What if you don't like fish? Then this is perfect. The taste and texture is really closer to a veal sauce than one made with fish.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 anchovy fillet
2 tablespoons capers
3 cloves minced garlic
½ cup dry white wine
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
3 cups crushed Italian (plum) tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (7 ounce) can oil-packed tuna, drained
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
¼ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir anchovy and capers in hot oil until anchovy crumbles, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour white wine, oregano, and red pepper flakes into the skillet and increase heat to high; cook until mixture reduces and about 3 tablespoons of liquid remain, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir tomatoes into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Season tomato mixture with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir tuna and 1/4 cup parsley into tomato sauce, breaking up tuna with a wooden spoon while stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until almost cooked through and still slightly firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain and transfer spaghetti back to the pot.
  • Pour tomato sauce over spaghetti into the pot; stir to combine, cover the pot with a lid, and let sit until spaghetti is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Ladle spaghetti into bowls, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and parsley over the top.

Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound/450 g spaghetti
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons/59 ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
25 cherry tomatoes, halved
Bunch fresh basil leaves, leaves torn
Freshly grated Pecorino cheese, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Place the spaghetti in salted boiling water. Stir to prevent the strands from sticking together.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat up the olive oil in a saucepan and gently saute the garlic until golden. Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes become soft. Season with salt.
  • About 2 minutes before the spaghetti is at the 'al dente' stage, drain, reserving approximately 1 1/2 cups of pasta water.
  • Add the spaghetti and pasta water to the saucepan. The pasta water will help lengthen and loosen the sauce. Turn off the heat. Add the torn basil leaves and cook together for approximately 30 seconds. Generously sprinkle Pecorino cheese and mix well. Drizzle with olive oil. Transfer the spaghetti to a serving bowl. Top with more Pecorino cheese and serve immediately.
