the method...
- Start cooking the spaghetti/fettucini as per packet instructions.
- Get a skillet heated and melt the 2 tbsp butter. Fry the garlic and onion on medium heat until fragrant. Don't let it brown.
- Add the whipping cream and bring it to boil. Remove from heat.
- Place the tuna and basil leaves in a blender or food processor. Pour in the contents of the skillet and process until smooth. With the motor still running, drizzle in the melted butter/olive oil. Season with salt and white pepper.
- Drain the spaghetti, reserving abt 1/2 cup liquid. Pour in the processed sauce and half the rocket leaves. Mix well.
- Divvy up the pasta and sauce onto four serving dishes. Garnish with the other half of the rocket leaves and some freshly cracked black pepper. Serve with a slice of garlic bread to soak up the yummy sauce.
