Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dry spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped Kalamata olives
3 tablespoons capers
4 anchovies anchovy fillets, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
½ cup Pinot Grigio
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 (4 ounce) tuna steaks
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
  • While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Once oil is shimmering, add onion, Kalamata olives, capers, anchovies, and garlic. Cook and stir until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, white wine, and red pepper flakes. Stir to incorporate.
  • Nestle the tuna steaks into the sauce, cover, and cook until the tuna flakes easily, about 10 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add in the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add in the Italian seasoning.
  • Serve tuna and sauce on top of cooked pasta. Garnish with basil if desired.

TUNA PUTTANESCA



Tuna Puttanesca image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces whole red onion or 5 ounces chopped, ready-cut onion (1 1/3 cups)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large clove garlic
4 oil-cured olives
1 teaspoon capers
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/4 cup dry red wine
8 ounces fresh tuna

Steps:

  • Chop the onion, if necessary. Heat a nonstick skillet, one large enough to hold all the ingredients, until it is very hot. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the oil. Saute the onion until it begins to soften and brown.
  • Put the garlic through a garlic press; pit and chop the olives, and add them and the garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in the anchovy paste and wine, and cook a few minutes more over very low heat, just to blend the ingredients.
  • Meanwhile, cut the tuna into bite-size chunks.
  • Add the tuna to the sauce, cooking until the pieces are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Use High-Quality Tuna: Opt for high-quality canned tuna packed in olive oil or brine for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cook Pasta Al Dente: Cook the farfalle pasta according to the package instructions, ensuring it's cooked al dente (slightly firm to the bite) for the perfect texture.
  • Sautéing Aromatics: When sautéing the garlic, anchovies, and capers, use low heat to prevent burning and extract their flavors.
  • Add a Splash of Pasta Water: Reserve some pasta cooking water to add to the sauce. This starchy water helps emulsify the sauce and creates a creamy consistency.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to your preference.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Finish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil for an extra pop of flavor and color.
