Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- ½ tablespoon of minced garlic
- 1 medium-sized onion
- 4-5 anchovy fillets
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ tablespoon of dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon of red pepper (crushed)
- ½ cup of kalamata olives
- 2 medium squash (yellow, green)
- ¼ bunch of fresh parsley
- 1 (28oz.) crushed or can diced tomatoes
- 12oz. tuna steaks
- Black pepper (cracked)
- ½ lb. of pasta
Preparation
- Chop the onion and cook it in a huge skillet together with the anchovy filets, minced garlic, and olive oil. Cook until the onions attain a soft texture and are transparent. Ensure the anchovies also dissolve.
- Meanwhile, dice the squash into quarters or half rounds. Put the squash into the skillet and continue sautéing until they’re slightly softened.
- Put the can of tomatoes, olives (roughly chopped), basil, red pepper (crushed), black pepper (cracked) and salt. Make sure you stir to combine the ingredients. Dip the tuna steaks into the sauce. Put a lid on top and allow it to simmer until the tuna’s cooked through. You’ll see the tuna turn from mauve to white while it cooks. Once you notice it’s white, then it’s done.
- Allow the tuna to poach in the sauce.
- Meanwhile, in a huge pot of boiling water, cook the pasta until it becomes tender but firm. Allow the pasta to cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. It’s best you use a timer in order to follow the cooking time precisely as indicated on the package. When cooking pasta, the temperature of your stove should be high enough to bring the water to a rapid boil. Ensure you maintain the boil throughout the cooking duration. When the pasta is ready, drain it in a coriander.
- When you finish cooking the pasta and tuna, lift the fish from the skillet gently. Add the parsley (freshly chopped) and pasta.
- Serve the pasta with vegetables and sauce. Top it with a piece of tuna steak. Bear in mind that behind great pasta is a great sauce. Saucing your pasta correctly is the difference between preparing authentic Italian food and merely preparing Italian ingredients.
Pasta has gained popularity because it represents the Italian way of life. People from different parts of the globe enjoy the favorite meal because of its simplicity. The cheap and easy-to-prepare meal not only tastes good but also filling. You’ll discover that pasta is one of the easiest meals to prepare provided you know the tricks.
