  • 2 tsp vegetable stock powder

  • n. B. Salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the anchovies. Sauté the anchovies until they begin to dissolve in the oil. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the capers and garlic and sauté for another 1 minute. Increase the heat to high, add the tuna and cook for 3 minutes. Make some space in the center of the pan and add the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute. Deglaze everything with white wine and reduce the heat briefly. Add water with vegetable stock powder, spices, honey, and cream and bring to a boil briefly. The salt content of the anchovies is usually sufficient, but season the sauce with salt if desired. Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions. If necessary, add a little of the cooking water to the sauce if it is too thick. Serve spaghetti with the sauce and grated pecorino cheese.
