- 1 package spaghetti
- 1 kg fresh tuna fillets
- 1/2 kg fresh tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 clove garlic
- Tomato sauce (to taste)
- Oregano (to taste)
- Butter or oil (for sautéing)
- Grated cheese (for topping)
Instructions:
-
Cook the Spaghetti: Begin by boiling the spaghetti in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and toss it with a little butter or oil to prevent it from sticking together.

Prepare the Tuna: Steam the fresh tuna fillets until they are halfway cooked. Once steamed, cut the tuna into small cubes and set aside.

Sauté the Aromatics: Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Heat a bit of butter or oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
-
Make the Tomato Sauce: Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for a few minutes until the skins start to peel. Remove the skins and blend the tomatoes until smooth. Pour the tomato puree into the pan with the sautéed onion and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the tomato sauce has come to a boil, add the cubed tuna to the pan. Stir well to combine. Add tomato sauce to taste, along with a pinch of salt, a sprinkle of sugar (if desired), and oregano. Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
-
Assemble the Dish: Place the cooked spaghetti on serving plates. Spoon the tuna sauce over the spaghetti and sprinkle with grated cheese.
-
