Spaghettini with Tuna
This dish is based on the Italian Spaghetti al Tonno. It is a perfect meal for anyone who doesn’t eat meat or poultry but does eat fish—or for that tough cookie in your house who won’t try any “seafood” except gefilte fish or canned tuna. (I’m not naming any names but if you’ve read my books you know who I mean.) You can spice up this dish, literally, by adding red pepper flakes and a 28-ounce can of whole plum tomatoes. (Break them up with your spoon while stirring and cooking.) This easy dish is an Italian staple—why not a kosher one too?
Use a good quality tuna. The better the tuna, the better this dish will be.

4. Add parsley and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Pour over spaghettini and serve with crusty bread.
