Artichokes and Tuna Pasta Sauce (Rachael Ray) image

Started with a Rachael Ray recipe that looked amazing but very high fat and calories! Gave it a much needed fat and calorie makeover and this is how it ended up. It isn't a diet dish but much healthier than the original. Hope you enjoy! For the FULL fat and calorie version please see http://rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/spaghetti-artichokes-and-tuna/ Please use the best quality canned tuna you can afford. It makes all the difference! Also remember to buy sustainable! :)

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
5 ounces canned tuna, drained and flaked into small chunks
14 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and sliced (I use quartered)
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or equivalent fresh)
1/2 cup dry vermouth or 1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup fat free chicken broth
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 lemon, zest and jucie
1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
red pepper flakes (optional)
8 ounces spaghetti

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add butter and olive oil. When melted add shallots and garlic, and stir 3 minutes. Add tuna and heat through breaking it down as small as you want it. I like large chunks.
  • Add artichokes and thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add in vermouth or wine and chicken broth. Return to heat and reduce it a little just until it forms a nice sauce.
  • Add lemon juice and zest to sauce. Add 1/2 cup starchy cooking water to sauce before draining pasta. Toss pasta with sauce. I like to remove from heat and let the pasta absorb some sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Serve topped with parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired. Original recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs on top,.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I always have a can or two of tuna in my pantry, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of artichokes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The artichokes were cooked perfectly and they didn't have a strong flavor.

This is a great recipe for a light and healthy meal. The artichokes and tuna are both low in calories and fat, and the sauce is made with low-fat milk.

This artichoke and tuna pasta sauce is a delightful dish that combines the flavors of the sea and the garden. The artichokes add a slightly briny flavor, while the tuna provides a rich and meaty texture. The sauce is creamy and flavorful, and it coat
