Answer Key! Every moment fat was added in the [Tuna Pasta video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wDO3OmT9Dc):

1. Olive oil & basil are added to the tuna chunks to soak & infuse
2. Some of this oil is added to the pan to infuse with garlic and cook the tomato sauce
3. Chili oil is added to the cooking tomato sauce
4. More olive oil from the tuna bowl is added to adjust the sauce consistency
5. After plating, aromatic basil olive oil is drizzled over the pasta
