Spaghetti al Tonno (Spaghetti with Tuna)

Posted by on Sep 22, 2010 in Main Course, Pasta, Seafood | 0 comments

This is one of my monthly go to dinner recipes.  I love it cause it is healthy, fast, simple, and absolutely delicious!  Spaghetti with Tuna was inspired from my Silver Spoon Pasta Cookbook.  I really love that cookbook, and Italian cooking because more often then not Italian recipes are simple and contain a handful of quality ingredients.

So please don’t get turned off by the Anchovy; it’s just one Anchovy chopped up into itsy bitsy pieces and melts in the sauce.  I buy my Anchovy’s in these little tins like most people.  They come with about ten, and don’t keep long after you open them.  This is a problem for me because I don’t cook with Anchovy’s daily.  To help prevent wasting them after I open them I freeze them.  I take a large piece of plastic wrap and place it on the counter.  I put one Anchovy down at the edge of the plastic wrap and then fold the plastic wrap over it, then I put another Anchovy and do the same thing.  Basically, I am freezing them in an accordion type fashion, so I can pull out one at a time when I have a recipe that calls for it.

This is my frozen dinner.  I love fresh fish, but sometimes I don’t have the time or the funds to run out to the fish monger and pick up some fresh fish.  So a good stand by to have in the freezer is Tilapia.  I know it’s not the most exciting choice of fish, but it was in my freezer and I decided to have a simple dinner.  Basically my plan was to thaw the Tilapia, and then give them a panko crust and pan fry them up.  Simple enough right?
