Ingredients
7 oz tuna1 1/2 cups tomato sauce1/4 cup white wine1 tb olive oil1 1/2 cloves minced garlicRed pepper flakes1/2 tsp anchovy paste1/2 tsp sugar 1 tb capers1/4 cup chopped parsley8 oz spaghetti
Sauté the capers in the olive oil for 3 minutes. Add the anchovy and garlic and briefly sauté. Add the wine, then the sugar and pepper flakes, and simmer to cook out the alcohol and reduce slightly.
Add the tuna, breaking it into small pieces, and the tomato sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes, adding a ladle of pasta water so it doesn’t get too thick. Add half of the parsley and simmer for 10 minutes, while the pasta is cooking.
Cook the pasta 1 minute less than directed; it will finish cooking with the sauce. Drain the pasta, put it back into the pot, and pour over the hot tuna sauce, mixing. Add the rest of the parsley and a 2 tb Parmesan.
Important: let it rest for 5 minutes, so the heat from the sauce and the pasta will continue the cooking for perfect spaghetti al tonno.
