Whether you have heard of spaghetti di tuna or not doesn't matter... its
just a delicious brainy take on Frutti di Mare. Yes, Italians do make this
dish. Italians living on the seaside eat a lot of seafood and pasta
with it... ever heard of 'Frutti di Mare'? That means fruit of the sea.
For this dish you will need: tomato sauce, canned tuna in oil (or fresh grilled tuna steak, crumbled), onion,
red pepper flakes, garlic, fresh dried herbs and pasta either spaghetti or linguine. Essentially,
the sauce is an Arrabbiata sauce... spicy hot tomato.
To begin, chop one onion and 2 cloves of garlic to saute in olive oil.
Once browned, add one large can of crushed tomatoes, 1/2 tsp of sugar, 1
tsp of red pepper flakes (1/2 depending on your taste buds or more if
your brave), fresh dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano and the
canned tuna un-drained. Let simmer while you start a pot of water to
boil for spaghetti or linguine pasta.
...top with Parmesan
