Easy & Tasty Red Fish Sauce with Spaghetti!!
The Mom Chef says
As per usual, this looks delicious. I'm always looking for a way to use tuna but have never thought of using it as a bolognese-type sauce. Genius.

Roz from 'la bella vita' says
Catherine, my family is from the mountains of Italy, so I did not grow up with one Italian fish recipe, can you even believe that? My relatives were so poor, they were never able to get to the sea either. I'd love to try this and the fish that Claudia posted as well, so that I can get my fish fix and my Italian fix at the same time! Blessings to you. Roz xoxoxo

It won't work in actual fact, that is exactly what I suppose.
