Easy Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce image

This is my version of a tuna pasta dish with capers, anchovies, and tomatoes. I make it at least once a week as it is my husband's favorite and he proclaims it's restaurant quality. You can easy double the recipe if you're cooking for more people.

PASTA WITH TUNA AND TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

I actually found this at the foot of the page, under the Cooking Channel site. The recipe is courtesy of chef David Rocco. The cream in the sauce seems to mellow the tuna and tomatoes -- it's my favorite pasta sauce with tuna. Really delicious and pretty with butterfly pasta.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil, approximately
1 garlic clove
8 sun-dried tomatoes, large chopped (I used bottled, drained)
12 black olives, pitted (about 1/4 cup)
7 ounces canned tuna, drained
2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup cream
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped fine
12 ounces pasta, such as penne or 12 ounces farfalle pasta, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • Note: I make my marinara with a bit of olive oil, garlic, canned tomato puree, a bit of Tobasco, basil, salt and pepper. It went great with this recipe.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and black olives. Cook a bit. Pour in the marinara sauce and cook for a few minutes. Add the tuna to the sauce. Cook for another minute. Add the cream and cook on high heat until the sauce is hot but not boiling. Add the pasta and finish cooking directly in the sauce. Sprinkle the dish with the parsley. Serve immediately. Buon appetito!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
3 cans tuna, well drained
2 cans crushed tomatoes, with juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, thyme, or rosemary
1 pound penne or fusilli pasta

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Heat a medium saucepan and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the pan. Saute the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Add the tuna and stir, being careful not to break up the chunks too much.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the chopped herbs a few minutes before serving.
  • While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta, drain, and toss with the sauce. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and an extra sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
