Tuna in Rose Wine over Tagliatelle

Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Provence, French
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 16 ounces dried tagliatelle or fettuccini
  • 7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups dry rose wine
  • 8 fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 20 oil-cured black olives, pitted and sliced
  • 2 pounds fresh tuna steak, sliced into 16 slices
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 fresh basil leaves
  • 14 cherry tomatoes halved
Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Toss it in 2 tablespoons olive oil and keep warm until ready to use.
  2. Heat 5 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add the onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the wine, tomatoes, rosemary and olives; simmer for about 8 minutes, or longer if you would like to reduce sauce more.
  4. Baste a hot grill pan or large skillet with olive oil and place over high heat. Rub the pieces of tuna with olive oil and place on the grill pan or skillet. Sear both sides and cook to the degree of doneness you prefer. I like mine very rare. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Ladle enough sauce over the pasta to coat when tossed, reserving the remaining sauce to drizzle over the top or serve on the side. Arrange fresh tuna on top. Snip fresh basil leaves all over the tuna, and top with cherry tomatoes.
