PASTA AL TONNO

    What exactly is Pasta Al Tonno you may be asking? Well it is simply pasta and tuna. A simple and delicious quick pasta meal that is beloved by many all over Italy. Why wouldn't it be? A rather smaller country surrounded by water makes for a typical cuisine dotted with all types of seafood found in the sea. Every region, family, restaurant has their own version of a pasta with tuna dish. This one is something my family has just always simply threw together for a quick yet delicious meal. If you try this I am sure you too will love it as much as we do. Pasta Al Tonno.

Ingredients:

  • Olive Oil
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • 1 cup White Wine
  • 1 tbs Oregano
  • 1 pinch Chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup Capers
  • 1 can of Tuna in oil
  • 1 full Lemon Zested
  • Spaghetti
1. In a large sauté pan drizzle some olive oil and sauté onion until translucent and then sauté garlic.

2. Mix in tuna directly from the can. 

3. Pour in white wine and add in oregano, chili flakes, capers and lemon zest. Bring to a slight simmer and reduce sauce about by 1/2.

4. Take cooked spaghetti and toss directly into the pan with tuna and sauce. Serve. 

Now I know cheese shouldn't be served on seafood pasta, however we always loved a  little parmesan tossed with this tuna pasta. To each their own!
