Tuna Puttanesca.
This is sponsored post brought to you by Blue Harbor. Opinions are my own.
Pasta alla Puttanesca is a plateful of umani goodness. If you’re not familiar with this particular dish, spaghetti alla puttanesca is an Italian pasta dish that was believed to be invented in Naples in the mid-20th century. It’s been around for a long while and with good reason. It’s beyond delicious. Its ingredients typically include tomatoes, olive oil, anchovies, olives, capers and garlic.
I’m adding a little extra goodness to mine today. Tuna. Not just any tuna. Blue Harbor wild Albacore tuna. Have you heard of it? A few reasons I was impressed with it are:
- The tuna is wild, line-caught premium quality fish that offers a delicious, mild, clean flavor.
- Blue Harbor is MSC Certified, which means it complies with sustainable practices and ensures each fish is traceable back to the boat.
- It’s soy Free, Gluten Free and Dolphin safe.
I also really LOVE that their tuna comes in a convenient pouch. That means no cans to open AND, wait for it, their pouches require NO DRAINING. How’s that for convenient. You can select either sea salt or no salt added tuna. If you live in the South or Southeast like I do, you can find Blue Harbor Tuna at your local Publix store. Simple ingredients that are environmentally friendly. That’s something I can get behind.
For this tangy puttanesca sauce I went with the no salt added tuna. Typically I like the touch of sea salt but in this dish that already has a salty flavor from the anchovies and capers, I like that I’m able to control the amount of salt.
