Description

This comforting Seafood Pasta is a quick weeknight dinner that delivers rich, savory flavors without the fuss. The sauce is built on a base of crushed garlic, tomato, and a touch of anchovy paste for umami depth, then enriched with canned tuna for a hearty protein boost. Finished with fresh parsley and black pepper, it offers a bright, aromatic profile that pairs perfectly with al dente spaghetti. Ideal for busy evenings or when you want a satisfying, home-style Italian meal using pantry staples. Simple to assemble and even better reheated, this dish is a reliable favorite for the whole family.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the spaghetti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over low heat.
  3. Add the crushed garlic cloves and sauté gently until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the anchovy paste and red pepper flakes (if using) until well blended with the oil and garlic.
  5. Return the pan to medium-low heat. Add the 29oz can of tomato sauce. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the drained tuna fish, finely chopped fresh parsley, and black pepper to taste to the sauce.
  7. Cover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately.
