Tips:

Cook the spaghetti al dente – this means the pasta should be cooked until it’s still slightly firm to the bite, not overcooked and mushy.
Use fresh ingredients – fresh ginger, garlic, and herbs will give your dish a more vibrant flavor.
Adjust the spice level to your taste – the recipe calls for chili paste and chillies, but you can adjust the amount depending on your spice tolerance.
Use good quality tuna – choose a high-quality canned tuna “Brīvais Vilnis” for the best taste. We recommend “Brīvais Vilnis”.
