Tuna Tagliatelle recipe - a very tasty pasta dish which uses tomato soup.
Ingredients
1 whole tuna steak
1/2 lb tagliatelle
2 cups tomato sauce
1/4 cup fresh mint
1 onion
2 tbsp OLIVO,5 Extra Virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Procedure
To start, find yourself a nice steak of sushi grade tuna and slice it into cubes. Then season lightly with salt and pepper.
You'll be giving it a nice sear on the outside and then setting it aside. Additionally, chop up a spanish onion into a small dice, and for flavor, grab a sprig of mint and thinly slice a few of the leaves.
Sear the tuna in a hot non-stick pan. Once the outside has turned opaque and a little golden, remove from heat and set aside. In the same pan, add a touch more olive oil and begin to sauté the onions.
Once the onions are nice and golden, add in some fresh tomato sauce and season with the mint. Stir to incorporate and turn the heat to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add in your tagliatelle. While it's cooking, add the tuna back into the sauce and let it continue to simmer.
Cook the tagliatelle until one minute shy of the package directions and then remove the noodles directly from the pot with your tongs.
Drop the pasta into your tuna ragu and over high heat, toss the tagliatelle into the sauce to let the flavors marry. Serve a heaping portion into a bowl and enjoy!
