Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. * Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this collection.
  2. Bring 6 quarts water to boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.
  3. In a 12-inch skillet, cook sliced onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes, add Basic Tomato Sauce and bring to a boil. Add tuna and rosemary, return to boil and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Drop tagliatelle into boiling water and cook until just al dente (about 1 minute). Strain in colander over sink and toss into pan with tuna sauce. Toss, stirring carefully over medium-high heat to coat noodles. Add parsley, stir in, pour into warm serving bowl and serve immediately.
