My husband (who hates tuna), raves about this dish. It's different and very delicious. Tastes even better heated the next day.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds ripe on-the-vine tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 cup good-quality olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced

Steps:

ANGEL-HAIR PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Provided by Ian Knauer

Categories     Garlic     Pasta     Tomato     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Lemon     Basil     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small garlic clove
3 lb tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb dried capellini (angel-hair pasta)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Accompaniments: finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife.
  • Core and coarsely chop two thirds of tomatoes. Halve remaining tomatoes crosswise, then rub cut sides of tomatoes against large holes of a box grater set in a large bowl, reserving pulp and discarding skin. Toss pulp with chopped tomatoes, garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, sugar (if using), and pepper. Let stand until ready to use, at least 10 minutes.
  • While tomatoes stand, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately add to tomato mixture, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with basil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh tuna, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful herbs will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish and can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you are using a store-bought sauce, choose one that is made with fresh tomatoes and has a good flavor. If you are making your own sauce, use ripe, flavorful tomatoes and season it well.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the sauce for extra flavor. Basil, oregano, and thyme are all good choices.
  • Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with tuna and tomato sauce is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna.
