Food & Cooking Recipes Ingredients Seafood Recipes No-Cook Tomato-Tuna Sauce with Spaghetti 5.0 (2) Close Credit: Con Poulos Prep Time: 20 mins Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Servings: 4 Blink and you'll miss this easy no-cook sauce recipe: Combine chopped tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, vinegar, and basil in a big bowl on the counter, and let them sit until they break down a bit. When the pasta is just cooked, toss it all together with a generous shower of grated Parmesan, which thickens and emulsifies the sauce, plus oil-packed tuna for a jolt of brininess and protein. Directions In a large heatproof bowl, combine tomatoes, 1/2 cup oil, garlic, basil, vinegar, and red-pepper flakes. Season generously with salt. Let stand up to 1 hour; remove and discard garlic. Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain. Immediately transfer pasta to bowl with tomatoes; add tuna, cheese, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Toss well to combine, adding pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce. Serve with more cheese and basil.
