A New Orleans tradition. There are as many gumbo recipes as there are cooks. I adopted this from a version at the New Orleans School of Cooking.

Spaghetti with Tuna and Fresh Vegetable Sauce

Created by Chuck,

Description

I invented this recipe one day during hurricane season when we had plenty of fresh veggies and lots of canned tuna. It has since become a family favorite. It works equally well with canned pink salmon.
