No-Cook Tomato-Tuna Sauce with Spaghetti image

Blink and you'll miss this easy no-cook sauce recipe: Combine chopped tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, vinegar, and basil in a big bowl on the counter, and let them sit until they break down a bit. When the pasta is just cooked, toss it all together with a generous shower of grated Parmesan, which thickens and emulsifies the sauce, plus oil-packed tuna for a jolt of brininess and protein.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds ripe medium tomatoes, cored and torn, or chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, torn, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
12 ounces spaghetti
2 jars (each 7 ounces) tuna packed in oil, drained
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated (1/4 cup), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a large heatproof bowl, combine tomatoes, 1/2 cup oil, garlic, basil, vinegar, and red-pepper flakes. Season generously with salt. Let stand up to 1 hour; remove and discard garlic.
