NATIONAL WEAR RED DAY
Beginning with National Wear Red Day—Friday, February 5, 2010—millions will help spread the critical message that “Heart Disease Doesn’t Care What You Wear.” The Red Dress, the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness, was created by The Heart Truth® in 2002 to deliver an urgent wakeup call to American women. Everyone can participate in the national movement by wearing their favorite red dress, shirt, tie, or Red Dress Pin.
On Thursday, February 11, 2010, The Heart Truth will bring the Red Dress to life once again on the runway at New York Fashion Week with the debut of the Red Dress Collection 2010. This spectacular event reminds women of the need to protect their heart health and inspires them to take action. Read more about The Heart Truth here.
I’m wearing red hearts and my red dress pins today.
Tuna Sauce
Sauté a chopped onion in olive oil until soft, then add finely chopped garlic and red pepper flakes. Then add about 1 t. fennel seed and 3 anchovies. Stir to dissolve anchovies.
Add a can of diced tomatoes (I like San Marzano), rinsed capers, and a can of the finest albacore tuna. I recently discovered this Gourmet Coastal Albacore Tuna at Bristol Farms. It uses sashimi grade troll caught albacore that is bled and blast frozen at sea immediately upon catch. The loins are filleted and packed directly into the can and cooked once in its own juices. Containing 2200mg of Omega-3 per 56g serving, almost three times the Omega-3 oil found in national brand tunas. Dolphin and turtle safe too.
Simmer.
Gremolata
Yuzu Chervil Gremolata: Combine minced garlic, yuzu zest and fresh chervil, and a small amount of sea salt. The flavor is fresh (chervil), bright (yuzu), and intense (raw garlic). A great condiment and excellent complement to the tuna sauce!
Toss al dente whole wheat thin spaghetti with a drizzle of olive oil. Top with the tuna sauce, gremolata, and garnish with olives.
To your heart!

Thanks for these recipes! My mother has to fight high cholesterol too (actually I do too since it runs in the family). These are so helpful, I will be sure to use them. I especially liked this one. Who doesn’t love good tuna with pasta?
Lori Lynn, You couldn’t have picked a better design that says who you are. So classy and elegant! Congratulations on your new home. Love tuna and pasta, I’ve switched over to whole wheat pasta 80% of the time, it’s come a long way in taste.
LL,
I love tuna and pasta together. It’s not for everyone, but it is for me!
