2 (6-ounces each) cans albacore tuna packed in oil, drained

SPAGHETTI WITH MARINARA SAUCE



Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce image

Get ready to gobble up your new family favorite - a one-pot spaghetti dinner doused in Marinara sauce.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Lunch

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small green bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, if desired
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (for cooking spaghetti), if desired
8 oz uncooked spaghetti

Steps:

  • Peel and chop the onion to measure 1/2 cup. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise, and cut out seeds and membrane. Chop enough bell pepper to measure 1/4 cup. Wrap any remaining bell pepper with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with their liquid, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the fennel seed and pepper. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently and does not spatter.
  • Cover with lid; cook 35 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes to make sure mixture is just bubbling gently and to prevent sticking. Lower the heat if the sauce is bubbling too fast.
  • After the sauce has been cooking about 20 minutes, fill a 4-quart Dutch oven about half full of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if desired. Cover with lid; heat over high heat until the water is boiling rapidly. Add the spaghetti. Heat to boiling again. Boil uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender but not mushy.
  • Place a strainer or colander in the sink. Pour the spaghetti in the strainer to drain. Serve with the tomato sauce.

SPAGHETTI WITH ITALIAN TUNA & CAPERS



Spaghetti With Italian Tuna & Capers image

My girlfriend's father gave us some cans of this wonderful, imported Italian tuna. This recipe is my attempt at re-creating HIS recipe for pasta with tuna and red sauce. Lauren's dad would often make this for me when I came to dinner because it had contained no meat. The Italian tuna packed in oil gives this sauce a wonderully "meaty" flavor that I absolutely love. My granny's mother would also make a dish similar to this on on the Fridays of Lent when they could not have meat.

Tips:

  • To make the most of the spicy tuna marinara sauce, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a great option, as they have a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • If you don't have any spicy tuna on hand, you can substitute canned tuna packed in oil. Just be sure to drain the oil before using.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the sauce to suit your taste. If you like things extra spicy, you can add more flakes. If you prefer a milder sauce, use less.
  • Serve the spaghetti with spicy tuna marinara sauce immediately, while the pasta is still hot. This will help the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
  • For a more flavorful dish, garnish the spaghetti with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti with spicy tuna marinara sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of spicy tuna, tangy tomatoes, and al dente spaghetti is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
