Spaghetti con Accinghe e Tonno

Spaghetti pasta served with anchovies and tuna for a great seafood taste and parsley, garlic, and white wine to give it flavor.


You've probably noticed by now I love pasta with tuna and other types of seafood. The thing is pasta just tastes great with it. They go so well together. This dish is heavier in tuna and flavor but still yet easy to prepare.

Recipe Instructions

  1. Chop 6 anchovy fillets and 2 large garlic cloves
  2. Wash and then chop a lot of italian parsley
  3. Open 2 cans of tuna with the lid still attached (keeps the tuna from falling out) and pour out all the oil/water
  4. Pour a thin layer of olive oil in a pan, add 3 tablespoons of butter and heat on low-medium till butter disolves
  5. Add garlic and heat for 3 minutes but do not brown!
  6. Add anchovies and their oil to the pan and heat for 2-3 minutes and let anchovies dissolve completely
  7. Add tuna and add 3/4 cup of white wine
  8. Stir well and let wine evaporate for 3 minutes until a thick and smooth sauce is formed

  10. Stir sauce and turn off heat
  11. Boil the spahgetti pasta (boiling time written on package)
  12. Stir pasta frequently while boiling (every 3 minutes or so) to prevent sticking
