SPICY TOMATO-TUNA NOODLE SKILLET CASSEROLE WITH AIOLI



Spicy Tomato-Tuna Noodle Skillet Casserole With Aioli image

Inspired by a dish at Brooklyn's Saint Julivert Fisherie, this updated tuna noodle casserole is homey, bright, and pantry-forward. Chef and owner Alex Raij modeled the menu item after fideuà, a paella-style pasta dish from northern Spain. We followed her lead by toasting dry pasta like ditali or rigatoni in oil until golden brown before cooking it into the tomato sauce, giving the pasta nutty flavor and plenty of al dente texture.

Number Of Ingredients 20

Aioli
1 large egg yolk
1 garlic clove, finely grated
¼ tsp. kosher salt, plus more
½ cup (or more) extra-virgin olive oil
Casserole and Assembly
1 medium onion, cut into large pieces
2 garlic cloves
½ cup coarsely chopped roasted red peppers from a jar
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
12 oz. rigatoni, mezzi rigatoni, ditali, or other short or medium-length straight tube pasta
2 (5-6-oz.) cans or jars oil-packed tuna
1 oil-packed anchovy fillet, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. double-concentrated or regular tomato paste
1 (14.5-oz.) can crushed tomatoes or whole peeled tomatoes with their juices, crushed
1 tsp. ground turmeric
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Coarsely chopped parsley (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Aioli
  • Whisk egg yolk, garlic, ¼ tsp. salt, and 2 tsp. water in a small bowl to combine. Place bowl on a kitchen towel so it won't slide around as you whisk and gradually stream in oil, whisking constantly until thick and emulsified. Aioli should be thick but pourable; gradually whisk in more oil if needed. Taste and season with more salt if desired.
  • Casserole
  • Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Pulse onion, garlic, and roasted red peppers in a food processor until finely chopped; set aside.
  • Heat 3 Tbsp. olive oil in a 10" ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-low. Add pasta and cook, stirring often, until evenly coated in oil and lightly browned, about 5 minutes (depending on the size and shape of your pasta, you may need to work in batches). Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl. Reserve pan.
  • Drain tuna, reserving 2 Tbsp. tuna oil. place oil in reserved pan and increase heat to medium. Add anchovy, ½ tsp. salt, and reserved chopped vegetable mixture and season with pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, 5-7 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Mix in toasted pasta, tomatoes, turmeric, red pepper flakes, remaining ½ tsp. salt, and 2½ cups water and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is slightly softened, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in drained tuna and ¼ cup water.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and bake casserole until pasta is tender and juices at the edges are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Heat broiler. Drizzle casserole with a little olive oil and broil until browned and crisped in spots, about 4 minutes.
  • Spoon some aioli over casserole and top with parsley if desired. Serve remaining aioli alongside.

ITALIAN-STYLE TUNA SANDWICH



Italian-Style Tuna Sandwich image

Though an American cook (or even a French one) usually adds mayonnaise to the bowl when dressing canned tuna for a sandwich, Italian cooks invariably anoint theirs with olive oil instead. Capers, olives and anchovy often join the festivities; here they are combined with garlic and parsley to make a zesty salsa verde. Choose the best quality Italian or Spanish canned tuna-the extra cost is well worth it. The other essential ingredient is freshly baked bread, like a good crisp baguette or crusty ciabatta roll.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, sandwiches, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup Italian parsley leaves, washed and dried
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup roughly chopped green olives, such as Castelvetrano
3 or 4 anchovy fillets, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped capers
Zest of 1 lemon
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper
1 baguette or 4 ciabatta rolls
Handful of lettuce leaves, arugula or watercress
8 ounces best quality oil packed tuna, drained, in large chunks
4 hard-boiled eggs
Salt and pepper
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced, optional

Steps:

  • Make the salsa verde: Whiz parsley leaves and 1/2 cup oil in a food processor or blender to a pesto-like consistency, then transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, chop parsley by hand and combine with oil.) Add garlic, chopped olives, anchovies, capers, lemon zest and red pepper to parsley mixture and stir well. Season with salt if necessary and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Thin with more oil as desired.
  • Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then split each lengthwise with a serrated knife. (If using rolls, split each lengthwise.) For each sandwich, lay bread flat, crust side down. Spread cut sides with 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Put a few lettuce leaves on 1 piece of bread and arrange 2 ounces of tuna over lettuce. Top tuna with 1 egg, quartered. Season egg lightly with salt and pepper. Add sliced serrano chile, if using. Drizzle with a little more salsa verde, then press sandwich closed.

Provided by Ceyda Polat

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 uncooked pastas, (4 portions)
1 tablespoon oil
4 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon tomato puree
¼ cup salted butter

1 Tin tuna
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 teaspoons paprika
2 pinches dried chili flakes

  • Add the pasta water saved previously and stir in whilst still simmering, then add the cheese in and stir this in. Simmer until the cheese has melted and then serve, adding more cheese, black pepper and chili flakes if needed.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. The better the tuna, the better the dish will taste. Look for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, and avoid tuna that is packed in vegetable oil.
  • Cook the tuna properly. Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough, so cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really brings this dish together, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a sauce that is made with fresh ingredients and that has a good balance of flavors.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. Add some chopped vegetables, different herbs, or a different type of pasta.

Conclusion:

Spicy Italian Tuna and Noodles is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. The tuna is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning, and it's served over noodles.
