Tuna Marinara Pasta Sauce

Tuna Marinara Pasta Sauce combines rich tuna with a marinara sauce enhanced with earthy cured black olives and briny capers. Use good quality canned Italian-style yellowfin tuna or feel free to grill or sauté an ahi tuna steak; either will work very well in this sauce.  Tuna Marinara Pasta Sauce is a long-time family favorite at our house which we discovered to have an unknown family history connection; the first time we served this at dinner with Vito’s parents, Vito’s Mom told us that this was his great uncle Louis’ favorite pasta sauce and it tasted just like his recipe!  Great uncle Louis had been the chef at the family restaurant in Vasto, Italy before he, his sister and her husband, who were Vito’s maternal grandparents, emigrated to the United States.  Imagine that!  Tuna Marinara Pasta Sauce from Italy to New Jersey to California, and now, to you!  Enjoy a Wilted Arugula Salad appetizer prior this main course, and accompany both with a very dry white wine.

Swordfish with Lemon Caper Sauce

Swordfish with Lemon Caper Sauce reminds us of Sicily! Swordfish fresh from the sea, marinated and grilled, and dressed with a sauce of lemon and capers is dining perfection.  This recipe uses readily available ingredients and is easy to prepare, just don’t leave the swordfish on the grill too long.  Serve Swordfish with Lemon Caper Sauce with Simple Sautéed Snow Peas, as shown, or Herbed Zucchini with Ginger and Garlic, accompanied by a very dry white wine.  No swordfish available? You can substitute Mahi Mahi fillets, just adjust the grilling time for the thickness of the fillets.
