Spaghetti Puttanesca Extra Tuna Remix Recipes

SPICY TUNA PUTTANESCA

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.

LINGUINE WITH TUNA PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the capers and olives and fry 2 more minutes. Crush the tomatoes into the skillet with your hands and reserve the juices. Cook until the tomatoes are slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved tomato juices, the basil, and salt to taste and cook until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tuna with its oil, breaking it up with a fork, and season with salt.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and return it to the pot. Add the sauce and the reserved cooking water and toss. Season with black pepper and garnish with more basil.
