Lemony Tuna and Olive Oil Pasta
Christopher Baker
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking water; drain the pasta.
Step 2
Wipe out the pasta pot. Add the oil, garlic, and red pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the pasta, tuna, lemon zest, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and the reserved pasta water and cook over low heat, tossing, until the sauce is slightly thickened and coats the pasta, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the parsley and toss to combine.

We thought this was really good! I did add a few ingredients to make it a complete meal. During the last 5 minutes of cooking time, I threw a small bunch of chopped asparagus in with the pasta, and just before serving, I stirred in 10 oz. of baby kale, swiss chard and spinach just to wilt. Fantastic!

I did not care for this recipe. I used average quality canned tuna (referencing the below comment) so perhaps that had something to do with it? I defiantly suggest trying it simply because of its ease, but not something I'll try to make again

This was so yummy! Lots of flavor and very simple. Definitely a keeper.

We loved this. I think it's important, though, to use a really high quality of canned tuna. I think that probably makes the difference and explains the overall 3 star rating.
