There are an infinite number of tuna sauces. This is one that you can whip together while the pasta water is heating, and have ready by the time the pasta is done. Don't be afraid to vary it to suit your tastes and the moment. To serve 4:
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 pound (350 g) spaghetti
1 or 2 2-ounce (50 g) cans of tuna packed in oil, drained
1 to 1.5 cups (250-375 ml) chunky tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
A red pepper, shredded
1 to 2 teaspoons salted capers, rinsed and chopped, or salt to taste
A handful of basil leaves, coarsely minced
PREPARATION:
Set pasta water to heat, salt it when it boils, and cook the pasta, draining it when it's al dente. In the meantime, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic and the hot pepper for a couple o minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Crumble the tuna into the pot, and stir in the tomatoes and the capers. After a minute check seasoning; reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce until the pasta is done. Garnish the pasta with the shredded basil and serve at once.

This could work nicely as a one-course meal with a tossed salad. If you instead want a second course, a grilled fish would be quite nice, again accompanied by a tossed salad.

Answer 3

1) You can eat tuna in spaghetti sauce. It is physically possible.

2) It does sound gross. Unless you are a highly trained chef, I don't foresee you making it work.

3) If you do not enjoy that sauce because of its high salt content, I have an idea for a sauce that has high protein that you might enjoy.

Answer 4

It's actually a very Italian sauce to put tuna into a red sauce. Make sure if it's canned tuna to rinse it off because of the high salt content. You don't want a super salty sauce.

Answer 5

particular, you could! human beings interior the U.S. tend to think of of canned tuna in very limited techniques: mixed with mayo and on a sandwich or salad, or in a noodle casserole. Italians use it in different kinds of dishes each and all of the time, alongside with pasta. it somewhat is stable in tomato-based spaghetti sauce, yet even extra suitable in a sparkling garlic and olive oil sauce, with a splash pasta water thrown in with the tuna, then toss interior the pasta. With the two variety, including a wholesome pinch of overwhelmed purple pepper is excellent in case you like a splash of spice. Capers additionally are an remarkable addition with the two variety (tomato vs olive oil). Chopped sparkling Italian flat leaf parsley is likewise a winning addition. Parmesan cheese isn't classic with seafood pasta dishes, yet once you % it choose for it.

Sorry, it sounds gross to me, but whatever trips your trigger. I would rather just have spaghetti sauce with NO meat in it.

Answer 11

well, if you like to experiment why not. you can be the judge of how it tastes. i have never tried this myself. i usually make sandwich stuff/mayo/celery/onion/tuna, or a boring casserole, hey but maybe you will stumble onto something great, and if not, i guess you can tell all of us about it. happy cooking. i think you could use either red or white wine with it, versatile.
