How to Cook Bluefin Tuna and Tomato Pasta

      Last week, I cooked tuna and tomato pasta for dinner because my husband's co-worker gave him fresh bluefin tuna fillets. He told me that his co-worker went fishing and caught a bluefin tuna! That's why we really enjoyed this pasta dish. It was actually so delicious, and white wine was perfect for this fish pasta. ;)  Today, I'm going to share how to cook tuna and tomato pasta with you. 

Ingredients for 4 Servings
1 lb of Fresh Tuna (Diced)
4 Tablespoons of Sake or Any Alcohol 
17.6 oz (500g) of Spaghetti 
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
6 Cloves of Garlic from Garlic Oil (Minced)
2 Dried Red Peppers (Chopped)
1 Onion (Sliced)
4 Anchovies
Nip of Salt and Black Peppers
1 Tomato (Diced)
12 Fresh Fennel Stalks with Fronds (Minced)
4 Tablespoons of Hot Water (from the pot you cooked your spaghetti.)

      I made garlic olive oil months ago. It's very easy to make. Just put peeled fresh garlic cloves in olive oil in a jar. Store it in cool dark place for over a month. It's perfect ingredients for pasta sauce.
