Shred
Parmesan with fine shredder of food processor. Remove

With

Prepare

and
pepper. Place tuna on rack and cook until light brown but still pink
in
center, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once.
Break

onion and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Mix
in tomatoes, 3/4 cup stock, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to sim-
mer.
Add fettuccine and cook until just warmed through. Gently mix in
tuna and spinach and warm through. Add remaining 1/4 cup stock if a
thinner
sauce is desired. Remove from heat. Mix in basil and adjust seasoning.

pasta mixture among plates. Sprinkle Parmesan in a circle
around edge of
pasta on each. Garnish with lemon. Serve hot or
at room temperature. Serves 6.
