Title: Baasto Iyo Suugo Tuuna (Pasta & Spiced Tuna Sauce)
Categories: Vwgwtables, Seafood, Pasta
Yield: 3 servings

8 oz Spaghetti
Fine salt
2 tb Olive oil
1 sm White onion; diced
3 cl (to 4 cl); minced
5 oz Can tuna in olive oil
1 Handful of cilantro leaves;
- rough chopped
2 tb Store-bought or homemade
- xawaash blend; (see TIP)
24 oz Jar tomato sauce or
- marinara

In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil over high
heat. When the pot of water comes to a boil, add your
spaghetti and cook to desired level of doneness.

Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, warm up the oil
over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add
the onion and stir occasionally until soft, 6 to 7
minutes. Once the onion finishes cooking, add the garlic
and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, 2 to
3 minutes.

Once the garlic has softened, stir in the tuna with its
oil, the cilantro, xawaash and ¾ teaspoon salt. Once the
tuna mixture has heated through, stir in the tomato
sauce. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring
occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and
the spaghetti is ready. Stir in a splash of pasta water
for a looser sauce, if desired. Taste and add more salt,
if you’d like.

Drain spaghetti and divide it among plates or bowls. Top
with the sauce. (The sauce can last up to 4 days in the
refrigerator.)

TIP: To prepare your own xawaash blend, add 4 teaspoons
ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/8
teaspoon ground cinnamon and ? teaspoon ground cardamom
to a small nonstick pan. Toast over low heat, stirring
continuously, for 1 minute or until the spice mix
becomes fragrant, then stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground
turmeric. Makes 2 tablespoons.
