How to Make Olive Garden Spaghettini With Tuna

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced clove of garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 2 (5 ounce) cans of tuna, drained, to the skillet and brown lightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup of dry Chardonnay wine and let it simmer until mostly evaporated, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes (or 1 1/2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce). Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cook 1 pound of spaghettini in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions.
  6. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta al dente.
  7. Add the drained spaghettini to the sauce and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
  8. Stir in 4 tablespoons of capers (optional), 1/4 cup of chopped fresh spinach (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
