TUNA FISH RAGU’ is a tomato sauce recipe that provides a great second course of tuna fish, and, additionally, a wonderfully tasty sauce to use as the dressing for a first course of pasta. Choosing a large chunk of tuna approximately 3–4 inches (8–10 cm) thick will make it easier to slice the fish at the end of the preparation. As an alternative, use diced tuna fish for a more practical recipe.
