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.
