Pasta with tuna
Pasta with tuna, this Italian pasta sauce recipe is the perfect solution for a complete dish when you have little time to prepare it. It is one of those easy pasta dishes that can be prepared while the pasta cooks.
This is one of the favorite pasta recipes of my children. It's a complete meal as you have pasta (carbohydtares), extra virgin olive oil (good unsatured fat), grated parmesan cheese and tuna (proteins). You'll need for 4 people:
• 0.88lb of pasta (1.1lb if you want a unique and complete dish)
• 3 cans of tuna with olive oil (I use the 0.35lb each cans)
• 5 anchovies fillets
• 4 pieces of garlic (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 4 or 5 tablespoons of grated parmesan
• 1 lemon juice
How to prepare:
Put the pasta into the salted boiling water and set your timer for the cooking time (part of the goodness of a pasta dish is its correct cook – a too much cooked pasta loses taste).Then put the extra virgin olive oil inside a frying pan and add the chopped garlic, the minced anchovies fillets and soon after the tuna. Mix it all, add a small piece of peperoncino (optional) and right before turning the gas off, add the lemon juice.
When the pasta is done, drain it with a colander and put it back inside the pan. Add the tuna mix and the grated parmesan. Mix it all well and…it's ready. Buon appetito!
