Spaghetti Puttanesca (Extra Tuna Remix)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 (8 ounce) can tuna fish
- 1 (450 g) can whole tomatoes or 1 (450 g) can diced tomatoes
- 0.5 (16 ounce) box spaghetti
- 0.5 (2 ounce) canolive-oil packed anchovy
- 1 (6 ounce) can tuna
- 1 (4 1/4 ounce) canchopped or diced olives
- 2 12 tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- Thai fish sauce
- heat pan on low heat.
- mash both cloves garlic--wooden spoon, heel of hand, whatever--and separate into two equal portions.
- put anchovies and a few tablespoons of their packing oil in pan.
- take half the garlic and add to anchovies.
- add cayenne pepper.
- saute on low heat (hotter, and it'll make the garlic bitter) until anchovies are "dissolved" and garlic is fragrant.
- increase heat, and once pan begins to sizzle, add tuna.
- stir tuna into mixture, and coat bottom of pan.
- leave tuna without stirring until it begins to brown.
- add can olives, and liquid from can.
- add can tomatoes and liquid, add remaining garlic, and mix in well.
- add capers.
- add the thai fish sauce.
- (keeps the tuna from overpowering the anchovies without having to use the additional nutritional nightmare that is the rest of the anchovies.)
- reduce heat, stirring occasionally.
- in separate pot, boil a few cups of water seasoned with a few tablespoons salt.
- cook pasta until al dente.
- drain pasta in a colander.
- remove sauce from heat, pour into pasta pot.
- pour pasta back into pasta pot.
- stir.
- serve with garlic bread, caesar salad (good use for the rest of the anchovies), and ground black pepper to taste.
- will probably not need parmsesean cheese or salt.
- would be good with a red wine like a valpolicella.
