Italian Fish Recipe
Tuna with capers, anchovies and pasta
A delightfully tasty italian fish recipe - really quick to make out of store cupboard ingredients.
This has to be one of my all time favourites - if I can't think of something to cook for tea, this is what I have. This tuna sauce is one I use instead of bolognaise as I'm not a fan of minced meat - it's also good to use in a seafood lasagne. Tuna Pasta
1 large can (14oz, 400g) tuna in oil
2 tbspns olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
2 cans (28oz, 800g) peeled chopped plum tomatoes
6 anchovy fillets - drained and chopped
2 tbspns capers - chopped
1 tspn dried basil
1lb (450g) pasta - your choice, macaroni or penne would be ideal
salt and pepper to season
Grated parmesan to serve
Drain the oil from the tuna into a large saucepan. Add the olive oil and fry the onion and garlic gently until softened. Add the tomatoes and simmer for about 25 minutes until thickened. Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling water (a dash of oil will help prevent sticking) according to the instructions on the packet. Add the tuna, anchovies, capers and basil to the tomato sauce and heat through - taste and adjust seasoning. Serve the tuna sauce spooned over the hot pasta - sprinkle over parmesan to taste and enjoy fish pasta recipe with some crusty bread to mop up the juices.
