DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, oil, garlic, basil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain and toss the pasta with the tuna and the tomato mixture.

VARIATIONS

Spaghetti with Fresh Tomato Sauce
Omit the tuna. The marinated tomatoes make a delicious sauce on their own.
Spaghetti with Salmon and Fresh Tomato Sauce
Omit the tuna. Coat 1 pound of skinless salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon cooking oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper. Broil the salmon until just barely done, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Flake the salmon and toss with the pasta.
Spaghetti with Shrimp and Fresh Tomato Sauce
Omit the tuna. Add 1 pound of raw medium shelled shrimp to the spaghetti during the last 1 minute of cooking time.
