Tuna Capellini
After years of hearing the Cento commercial on the radio during the Sounds of Sinatra radio show every Sunday, one thing always stuck out....the singing of Tunaaaaaa Capelliiini. Well, it just so happened that I was given a can of Ortiz Bonito Del Norte tuna, and from then on the recipe just had to happen. So..where to find this recipe. Well, how about...........yes........ the Cento website! Of course!
There, the recipe for Capellini with Tuna and Anchovy Sauce was listed. Yes, I had Anchovies laying around. In a jar. Ready to go. The entire recipe is just a few ingredients:
5 tbsp Cento Imported Olive Oil
1 dried Cento Hot Chili Pepper, diced (optional)
1 oz Cento Flat Anchovies
2 tsp Bellino Minced Garlic
2 - 28 oz Cento San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes, hand-crushed
2 - 5 oz Cento Tuna in Olive Oil
1 lb Anna Capellini
Ok, so I didn't have San Marzano tomatoes, but I did have another brand sitting around.
This recipe was halved, as I only had 1 can of tuna fish. Good tuna fish. Which, on that note...tasted about the same as cheaper tuna fish. When cooked in a tomato sauce, I'm thinking that any darn white tuna would do. but I digress. On to the food!
I also have lots and lots of dried peppers, courtesy of my garden. For this recipe I used two of my cherry tomatoes. Nice and spicy. Overall a very very easy dish of which my wife said (in this order)
1) It's ok, I guess
2) I'm really hungry
3) This is growing on me.
Yes, she went back for seconds
