Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 uncooked pastas, (4 portions)
1 tablespoon oil
4 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon tomato puree
¼ cup salted butter
1 cube vegetable stock
1 Tin tomato, chopped
1 Tin tuna
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 teaspoons paprika
2 pinches dried chili flakes
½ block grated cheese
salt and pepper, as needed

Steps:

  • Put the pasta into a saucepan and pour over one tablespoon of chosen oil to stop the pasta from clumping together. Add the vegetable stock cube to the boiling water and stir until dissolved then pour the water over the pasta and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta until just undercooked and drain the pasta water, saving about a cupful of the water for the sauce.
  • Into the pan of cooked pasta, add the tin of tomatoes, the tuna, the butter, crushed garlic, paprika, salt and pepper to taste and chili flakes. Stir and bring to a simmer to finish cooking the pasta.
  • Add the pasta water saved previously and stir in whilst still simmering, then add the cheese in and stir this in. Simmer until the cheese has melted and then serve, adding more cheese, black pepper and chili flakes if needed.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dry spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped Kalamata olives
3 tablespoons capers
4 anchovies anchovy fillets, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
½ cup Pinot Grigio
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 (4 ounce) tuna steaks
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
  • While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Once oil is shimmering, add onion, Kalamata olives, capers, anchovies, and garlic. Cook and stir until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, white wine, and red pepper flakes. Stir to incorporate.
  • Nestle the tuna steaks into the sauce, cover, and cook until the tuna flakes easily, about 10 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add in the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add in the Italian seasoning.
  • Serve tuna and sauce on top of cooked pasta. Garnish with basil if desired.
