About Tuna sauce

Tuna sauce is a flavorful condiment or pasta sauce typically associated with Italian cuisine. Made primarily from canned or fresh tuna, olive oil, garlic, and onions, it often includes tomatoes, capers, and a touch of parsley or lemon for added zest. Some variations may incorporate cream for a richer texture. Nutritionally, tuna sauce is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12, which support heart and brain health. The use of olive oil and fresh herbs adds healthy fats and antioxidants. However, its healthiness depends on preparation—creamy versions or overuse of salt can increase calorie and sodium content. When paired with whole-grain pasta or served as a topping for vegetables, tuna sauce can be a balanced, nutrient-packed addition to your meal. Always opt for high-quality, sustainably sourced tuna when possible for environmental and dietary benefits.
