CHEF JOHN'S SPAGHETTI AL TONNO
Spaghetti al tonno is one of my all-time favorite go-to pasta dishes. I love a classic meat sauce as much as the next half-Italian, but when I want something quick and easy for a weeknight meal, I reach for the tuna. What if you don't like fish? Then this is perfect. The taste and texture is really closer to a veal sauce than one made with fish.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir anchovy and capers in hot oil until anchovy crumbles, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour white wine, oregano, and red pepper flakes into the skillet and increase heat to high; cook until mixture reduces and about 3 tablespoons of liquid remain, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Stir tomatoes into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Season tomato mixture with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
- Stir tuna and 1/4 cup parsley into tomato sauce, breaking up tuna with a wooden spoon while stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until almost cooked through and still slightly firm to the bite, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain and transfer spaghetti back to the pot.
- Pour tomato sauce over spaghetti into the pot; stir to combine, cover the pot with a lid, and let sit until spaghetti is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Ladle spaghetti into bowls, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and parsley over the top.

PASTA WITH A SAUCE OF TOMATO AND HOMEMADE TONNO SOTT'OLIO
Though it cooks for only 15 minutes, this tomato sauce gets loads of flavor from both the tonno and the olio of your marinated tuna. But you don't want just to boil the tuna and tomatoes together: it is essential to add the fish, the oil, and all the other ingredients to the big skillet at the right time. The technique of skillet sauces, and how to finish pasta and sauce together, is explained in depth on pages 89 to 93\. For this chunky sauce, I recommend a short dried pasta with lots of nooks and crannies, like cavatelli or campanelle or conchiglie. These will catch some tuna for you with each bite, so you don't end up with all the tuna swimming in the bottom of your bowl.

Steps:
- Lift a few chunks of tuna from the oil and hold them over a bowl (don't wipe or drain them-drips of oil are fine). With your fingers, break the chunks into flaky bits, 3/4 inch wide or so, to get 4 cups total.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and start cooking your pasta shortly after you've started the sauce.
- Pour 1/3 cup of the marinating oil into a 14-inch skillet, scatter in the onion, and set over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, for 1 1/2 minutes or so, until the onion is sizzling. Clear one side of the skillet and drop in the capers, more or less according to taste, and stir to toast them in the hot spot for 1 1/2 minutes, then stir and cook with the onion for another minute.
- Drop in the flaked tuna and cook, still over medium-high heat, for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle on another 1/4 teaspoon salt and the oregano. Let the tuna caramelize lightly but not darken. (If the pan seems very dry, add another tablespoon or two of oil.) Drop peperoncino, to taste, into a hot spot, and toast for a minute, then stir in with the other ingredients.
- Pour the crushed tomatoes and juices into the pan; slosh the tomato container with a cup or so of boiling pasta water and pour that in too. Now stir in 2 more tablespoons of tuna-marinating oil, and bring the sauce to an active bubbling boil.
- Cook for 10 minutes or more, at the same time as the pasta. Lift the pasta from the pot while it is still slightly undercooked, and drop it into the skillet of simmering sauce. Toss and cook pasta and sauce together until the pasta is fully cooked and the sauce coats it well and is not soupy. Remove from the heat, and toss pasta with the parsley; drizzle over another tablespoon or two of tuna-marinating oil, and toss again.
- Serve immediately in warm bowls.
BASIC TOMATO SAUCE
This basic tomato sauce satisfies my pasta-loving husband much more than any store-bought kind. For a change of pace, I add ground beef or Italian sausage. It's also good with black olives, mushrooms and green peppers. -Jennifer Stephens, Pearland, Texas

- In a pot or braiser, add a couple tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Heat over medium/medium-high until just shimmering. Add chopped onions, garlic and finely grated carrots. Cook, stirring regularly for 5 minutes or so.
- Now, add in crushed tomatoes and a little bit of water (about 1/2 cup). Season with kosher salt and black pepper to your liking. Stir in dry oregano, paprika and fresh herbs (basil and parsley). Bring this party to a boil briefly, then lower heat.
- Cover and let the sauce simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (I like to check on the sauce occasionally to give it a stir or add a tiny bit of my cooking pasta water if needed). You should end up with a gorgeous sauce that is the perfect thickness. Add a bit of fresh basil or parsley if you have some left.
- If you're after the best tasting pasta, add your just cooked pasta to the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes or so to allow the pasta to absorb the flavors and goodness of the sauce!

- Boil a large, salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile (once the pasta starts to cook), add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it melts, add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, stirring constantly.
- Add in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, cream, and Italian seasoning. Stir until it's nice and smooth. Let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes or until it's thickened to your liking (it should be very gently bubbling, so you may need to turn down the heat).
- Season the sauce with salt & pepper as needed (I'm pretty generous with both). If the sauce is a little too acidic/tangy for your liking, add in a pinch of sugar.
