Easy Tuna Ragu Recipe
Whether your plans include changing your eating habits drastically, following a specific diet, or just trying to eat a little healthier…chances are good. This Easy Tuna Ragu recipe will be very helpful. I have long adored this recipe since I ate it frequently during childhood. I remember that my mom used to make it with carrots and corn kernels, but since the main idea is to keep it healthy and simple, I decided to omit those two ingredients. This Easy Tuna Ragu recipe is light and healthy yet full of robust flavors. This tuna ragu recipe takes a humble pouch of tuna and turns it into something worthy of the best dinner ever title. All starts with good quality tuna! For this recipe, I used Blue Harbor Fish Co. It was my first time trying this brand, and I loved it because:
Tuna is firm, meaty, and has a delicious, mild, clean flavor. Each pouch is packed with only water, or water and sea salt. 100% Line caught. No preservatives. No GMOs. Blue Harbor comes from Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified fisheries and is dedicated to the sustainability of the world’s fish stocks.
TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE TUNA RAGU
Leftovers will keep refrigerated for 5 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. This recipe freezes so well that I often freeze and make a double batch. If you decide to do that, double all the ingredients except for the bay leaf. Freeze the sauce in individual portions. In my personal experience, it is best to thaw the ragu in the fridge overnight before warming, but frozen tuna ragu can also be thawed and warmed in a covered pot over very low heat on the stovetop. Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper if you want to add a spicy touch. This recipe can be adapted for the Whole 30 diet: Do not add the butter. Use only olive oil. Use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Make sure they don’t have any sugar added. If you follow the Keto Diet and want to make this recipe more creamy and luscious, add ½ cup of heavy cream after the ragu has simmered for 10 minutes. This Easy Tuna Ragu is so versatile! Serve over pasta or zoodles (noodles made from veggies such as zucchini). This ragu is also great for filling zucchinis, peppers, or eggplants or serving over rice, mashed potatoes, or quinoa. The possibilities are endless.
