Tuna Spaghetti Recipe
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Spaghetti | 1 package |
| Fresh tuna fillet | 1 kg (approx. 2.2 lbs) |
| Fresh tomatoes | 500 g (approx. 1.1 lbs) |
| Onion (large) | 1 |
| Garlic cloves | 1 |

| Oregano | To taste |
| Butter or oil | As needed |

Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and toss with a bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking. |
| 2 | Steam the fresh tuna fillet until partially cooked, then dice it into small cubes. |
| 3 | Finely chop the onion and roughly mince or grate the garlic. Sauté both in butter or oil until fragrant and golden. |
| 4 | Boil the fresh tomatoes until soft. Once cooked, blend them into a smooth tomato sauce. |
| 5 | Add the blended tomato sauce to the sautéed onions and garlic. Allow it to simmer until it thickens slightly, then add the diced tuna. |
| 6 | Stir in the tomato sauce, along with salt, sugar, and oregano to taste. Simmer the sauce until the tuna is fully cooked and all the flavors meld together. |
| 7 | To serve, plate the spaghetti and generously top with the tuna sauce. Finish by sprinkling grated cheese over the dish. |
