🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 200g (7 oz) spaghetti (or your favorite pasta)
- 1 can of tuna in olive oil (drained)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (or 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped)
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes (optional, for a kick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
👩🍳 How to Make Tuna Spaghetti:
Step 1: Cook the Spaghetti
Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente. Once done, drain the spaghetti, reserving a bit of the pasta water to add later if needed.
Step 2: Prepare the Tuna Sauce
While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Next, add the canned tuna to the skillet. Break it up gently with a spoon and let it warm up, absorbing the garlic and oil for a couple of minutes. If you’re using capers and chili flakes, this is the time to toss them in for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 3: Add Tomatoes and Simmer
Add the canned diced tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes) to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Combine Pasta and Sauce
Once the spaghetti is cooked and drained, toss it into the skillet with the tuna sauce. Add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Give everything a good stir to coat the pasta in the flavorful sauce.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Serve your Tuna Spaghetti hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor. If you like, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan
