Instant Pot Tuna Puttanesca

Instant Pot Tuna Puttanesca

"Nana’s Tuna Puttanesca Sauce with Spaghetti Pasta" by Diana71 has long been a favorite dish of mine, and one I regularly turned to when I had canned tuna, but this time when the craving hit, I only had frozen tuna steak. Instant Pot to the rescue! I chose to cook my pasta separately from the sauce. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ (24 ounce) jar traditional spaghetti sauce (such as Barilla®)
  • ½ cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 (6 ounce) frozen tuna steak
  • 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • ½ teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil in the pot. Add onion and garlic; saute until softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes.

Step 2
Add spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, and broth; stir to combine. Nestle tuna steak into the middle of the sauce. Cancel Saute function. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 3
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Flake tuna apart with a fork. Add olives, capers, anchovy paste, herbes de Provence, and cayenne. Stir to combine and serve over hot cooked spaghetti.
