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.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the tomato sauce, tuna, capers, and lemon peel in a heavy large skillet. Using a fork, break the tuna into chunks. Simmer to blend the flavors, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Toss the pasta with enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Stir in the parsley and serve.
- In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
- Add half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
- If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.
