2. Cooking Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes or according to package directions. Drain.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovies (if using) and crushed red pepper and cook for 30 seconds more. Add tomatoes, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Stir in tuna and cook until it is incorporated into the sauce and heated through, 2 minutes more. Divide the spaghetti evenly among 4 plates, top with sauce and garnish with basil. Serve hot.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Inspired by the Italian dish spaghetti al tonno e pomodoro, this quick and healthy pasta became a staff favorite at EatingWell. If you keep canned tuna and whole-wheat pasta on hand, you'll do what we did: return to this quick meal again and again.

Yummmm-OH!!!!
"r-me" - December 11, 2007 07:45:53 PM PSTI didn\'t follow the exact recipe. I\'m not too fond of Basil, so I used Italian Parsley instead. I also added a little sugar to kill the acidity of the tomatoes. Mmmmm, turned out great! My kids loved it too, they couldn\'t wait to get seconds. Thanks for the recipe!!! =)

almo9a - August 24, 2009 09:36:39 AM PSTI added black olive slices and a small jar of artichokes to further jazz it up. Also the sugar tip was great...

Quick and Easy
Dingobluefoot - March 31, 2008 11:28:19 AM PSTI\'ll make this again because it is so quick and easy to prepare, and it\'s a meal the kids seem to like a lot. I wasn\'t overly impressed with it although I wouldn\'t say I DIDN\'T like it, either - just not something I\'d want to eat often.
I added a bit of sugar (1/4th teaspoon) to cut the acidity of the tomatoes a bit, and I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the batch (1/4th tspn) to give it an extra bite (we like it spicy here in the west!).
All in all, I\'ll give this three stars.Was this review helpful to you? Yes - No Report Abuse
