Amount Measure    Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
7    ounces tuna in oil -- (1 can)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2    onions -- peeled and minced
1    garlic clove -- peeled and crushed
   1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons tomato puree
8    ounces tomatoes, canned -- (1 can)
salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people

drain off from the tuna into a pan, add the olive oil and saute onions and garlic for 4-5 minutes until they turn light gold.

Add oregano, tomato puree and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, add salt and pepper and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Flake tuna into mixture and cook 5 minutes longer. Stir in fresh herbs, spoon over pasta and serve at once.

Makes 4 servings.

VARIATIONS:
1. Omit basil. Add 3-4 anchovies and cook with the garlic and onions. This gives an even punchier flavor.
2. Instead of tuna, use fresh or canned baby clams to make a Vongole Sauce.

AuthorNote: This is a more substantial recipe I picked up near Amalfi. The sauce was the specialty of a little restaurant perched high on the steep mountainside overlooking the port. I chose the dish as main course with a crisp green salad on the side.
