Tuna with Vegetables and Linguine

12 ounces fresh or frozen tuna steaks or fillets (1 inch thick)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups broccoli flowerets
1 large red or green sweet pepper, cut into julienne strips (1-1/2 cups)
8 ounces linguine, cooked and drained
3/4 cup finely shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese

1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Discard any skin and bones. Set aside.

2. For sauce, in a small bowl stir together wine, thyme, salt, and crushed red pepper. Set aside.

2 minutes. Add sweet pepper; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove vegetables from the wok.

4. Add tuna to the hot wok. Stir-fry for 3 to 6 minutes or until tuna flakes easily, being careful not to break up pieces. Return cooked vegetables to the wok.

5. Stir sauce. Add sauce to the wok. Add cooked linguine. Gently toss all ingredients together to coat with sauce. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through. Remove from heat. Serve immediately. Sprinkle each serving with Romano or Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings.
