A simple yet complex spaghetti dish... my mother used to make it for Christmas Eve... tuna in olive oil, tomato sauce, garlic, oil, and parsley... And of course, there were always spaghetti... And it was instantly Christmas... Today, we strive to prepare dishes like super chefs... But the simplicity of a plate of spaghetti with tuna... for me, it immediately feels like a celebration; family, tradition, and above all, the desire to be together... regardless of what's on the Christmas table...
