INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a food processor or blender, process parsley, basil, garlic,
anchovies, oil, and lemon juice to a puree.
2. By hand, stir in tuna. Season to taste with pepper. Use immediately or
cool to room temperature and refrigerate or freeze (see Timesaver Tip).
3. To serve: Cook 8 ounces thin tubular pasta, such as thin spaghetti,
following package directions. Drain. Toss pasta with 2 tablespoons olive
oil, then with sauce. Top with sliced black olives, slivered dried tomatoes
in oil (pumate), or freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Makes 1-1/4 cups.
* Timesaver Tip: Sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead, covered and
refrigerated, or it can be frozen. To freeze, spoon into a freezer
container, cover, label, and freeze at 0 degrees F up to 3 months. To
serve, defrost sauce 8 to 12 minutes in microwave oven on Defrost setting,
stirring several times, or thaw in refrigerator 8 to 24 hours. Gently warm
sauce in saucepan or in microwave oven on 50% power, 1 to 3 minutes. Sauce
should be at room temperature or barely warm when tossed with pasta.
Note: When basil is unavailable, use 2-1/2 cups packed parsley sprigs and
1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons dried basil.
