Any good Linguine With Tuna Puttanesca recipes?

Now that's something I've never made.

Assuming that you're not making a bit of an off-color double entendre joke, a basic puttanesca would include tomatoes, garlic, anchovies (or anchovy paste), black olives, capers, olive oil, parsley, and basil. It basically translates to a "whore's sauce:" bold, tasty, and easy and quick to prepare between clients.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the capers and olives and fry 2 more minutes. Crush the tomatoes into the skillet with your hands and reserve the juices. Cook until the tomatoes are slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved tomato juices, the basil, and salt to taste and cook until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tuna with its oil, breaking it up with a fork, and season with salt.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water, and return it to the pot. Add the sauce and the reserved cooking water and toss. Season with pepper and garnish with more basil.



hot damn google makes me smart! :lol:
 
Generally takes less time to make the sauce than it does to cook the pasta.

I skip the anchovies, though, and have never tried it with tuna. Tomato, onion, garlic, olives, red pepper flakes, oil (something else, maybe? I'm just working from memory here) and at the very end, just before serving, stir in capers and fresh parsley.
 
I generally avoid eating things I can neither pronounce nor spell.
