About

Sun-dried tomatoes always add a feeling of richness to a dish, and it’s not just because they are expensive. Actually, a little goes a long way. Here the combination of sun-dried tomatoes and basil plays up the meaty quality of the tuna.

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tuna, sun-dried tomatoes, half the basil, the olives, garlic, and pepper; heat through. Toss the tuna sauce with the cooked spaghetti and sprinkle with the remaining basil.
