Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes (6 to 8 tomatoes)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 1 5-ounce can light tuna packed in water, drained
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, puree the tomatoes in a blender or food processor; set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is just golden, about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high, add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the pureed tomatoes and 3/4 teaspoon salt and simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 6 more minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain. Return the skillet to medium heat, add the pasta and tuna and cook, tossing, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.

Reviews
For heaven’s sake skip the nasty water pack tuna with all the taste leached out. Use a decent tuna packed in olive oil instead. Then this isn’t bad though not as good as I hoped.
Can I know the calories contained in this recipe?
I must have done something wrong because the taste was… misfortunate.
This turned out very tasty! I was surprised at how good it was. I may try it again with some capers and/or olives.
Love it and very tasty
