Spicy Tuna Carbonara: A Fusion Twist on Comfort Food!

The Perfect Comfort Food: Spicy Tuna Carbonara

I’m excited to share this unique fusion recipe with you today! As the weather starts to cool down, I find myself craving comfort food with a bit of a kick. That’s why I’ve combined the classic Italian dish carbonara with a spicy twist using tuna. It may sound unconventional, but trust me, it’s absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

• 200g spaghetti
• 100g canned tuna
• 2 eggs
• 50g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• skillet
• cheese grater
• whisk

Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted water. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chili flakes, cooking until fragrant.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Drain the canned tuna and flake it into the skillet with the garlic and chili flakes. Stir until the tuna is heated through.

Once the spaghetti is al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet with the tuna mixture. Toss everything together until the spaghetti is well coated. Remove the skillet from heat and slowly pour in the egg mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the eggs don’t scramble.

The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce that coats the spaghetti. Serve hot with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top for the perfect finishing touch.

This Spicy Tuna Carbonara dish weighs approximately 600g in total, with 4 servings. Each serving is around 150g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to add a splash of white wine to the skillet before combining it with the spaghetti. It adds a depth of flavor that takes this dish to the next level!
