Preparation:
Tortiglioni with tuna are a simple and tasty first course, ideal for a quick lunch or an informal dinner.
To prepare the delicious Tortiglioni with tuna sauce, there are some essential steps to follow to obtain a dish with an exceptional flavour. First of all, it is important to prepare the sauce by creating a balanced and tasty mix of flavours. Start by frying the onion, whole chillies and garlic in extra virgin olive oil. Remember to shade occasionally with white wine to prevent the onion or garlic from burning. After removing the peppers, add the can of tuna drained from the oil and a little white wine.
After a minute, add the chopped tomatoes and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using fresh tomatoes, peel them before adding them to the sauce.
While the sauce is cooking, you can prepare the pasta. Cook the Tortiglioni in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain them and pour them into a serving dish. Add the tuna sauce and mix well. Serve hot to better appreciate the flavors.
To accompany this first course perfectly, we recommend serving a fresh and fragrant white wine, such as a Sauvignon del Veneto or a Greco di Tufo Campania. These wines, with their almond and citrus notes, marry perfectly with the savory taste of tuna, creating a pleasant harmony of flavors that will satisfy all palates.
Don’t forget to enjoy this dish in good company and in a pleasant atmosphere to fully enjoy your dining experience.
Enjoy your meal!
