Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook to al dente. Drain and keep warm.
- Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add anchovies and stir into oil until melted. Add the garlic, turn heat to low and saute for a couple of minutes. Stir in the tomatoes crushing them up, then stir in stock. Season with a little black pepper, add capers and olives and simmer a few minutes.
- While sauce simmers, cut tuna into chunks and grind in food processor into coarse mixture. Pulse in the egg, bread crumbs and parsley and season with a little salt and black pepper. Remove tuna mixture from the processor to a bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine. (Adding the oil will prevent mixture from sticking to your hands as you roll the balls.) Roll the tuna into small balls and drop into the sauce. Cover the pot and simmer the tuna balls in the sauce, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Place the pasta into a serving bowl. Add the tuna and sauce, toss to coat and garnish with shredded basil.
TUNA PUTTANESCA AND PENNE
Loosely based on"Every Day with Rachel Ray" Nov/06 edition. UPDATE: 08/26/2008 since everyone has increased the amount of garlic to 6 cloves, then I'll suggest that! Also, add some lemon zest. As for the heat - we enjoyed it the way it is. If desired, add some anchovies - it tastes great! Just ANOTHER UPDATE: 06/24/09 - increase the servings to 4 generous servings or 6 regular servings.

RED PEPPER PENNE WITH CHERRY TOMATO PUTTANESCA
Puttanesca sauce, or "streetwalkers' sauce," is a favorite in our house, but the women that made this sauce famous (or infamous) probably didn't have to walk too many streets to lure in their customers. They simply put the ingredients for this sauce in clay pots and let the sauce bake in the windows of their houses all day before tossing the tomato and anchovies with pasta. No one knows if the men came in for the ladies or the sauce--my bet is they had hopes of getting truly lucky and enjoying both. Regardless of its history, you do feel naughty when you eat this spicy, salty, wildly delicious concoction.

- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help prevent the pasta from getting mushy in the sauce.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around: This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
