🧂 Ingredients

320 gr spaghetti
180 gr canned tuna

chose a good quality one… it's crucial
1 onion
700 gr fresh tomatoes

OR 400 gr canned peeled tomatoes (depending on the season you are in)
q.s. EVO oil
q.s. salt

Instructions

1 Start finely chopping the onion and gently fry it in a pan with EVO oil. The key
is the word "gently". It has to cook until it gets transparent. This will take
about 15-20 minutes.
2 When the onion is fully transparent, add the peeled tomatoes, chopped into
pieces.
3 Gently cook for about 20 minutes. (Note: starting from fresh tomatoes, it will
take longer, about 30-40 minutes.) Add the chopped tuna and cook about 10
minutes more. The final result should be a sauce like the one in the picture.
4 In the meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in salted water.
5 As usual, when they are almost cooked, take them away from the water "al dente"
and put them into the pan with the sauce. Add a small amount of pasta water and
mix them.
6 The result will be your first spaghetti alla bolognese… the bolognese way! 😉
Enjoy them.
