ARTICHOKES, CAPERS, OLIVES, LEMON ZEST, AND ITALIAN TUNA ON PASTA SHELLS
Steps:
- In a 10-quart pot, bring the water to a brisk boil. Add salt and stir in the pasta shells. When the water returns to a boil, begin timing and cook al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse. Transfer the shells to a large serving bowl. Stir in the reserved pasta water to keep the pasta from sticking to itself. Pasta continues to cook and absorb water even when it has been drained. Add in the salsa cruda ingredients and toss. Garnish with chopped parsley leaves.
- Preparation time: 10 minutes; cooking time: 15 minutes
TUNA PASTA WITH OLIVES & ARTICHOKES
From Diabetic Connect. Toss grilled tuna with pasta, artichoke hearts,green olives and tomatoes. Grilling the tuna gives this ultra fresh pasta dish a subtle smokiness. But if you're pressed for time, try canned tuna in place of the grilled fish.

SPAGHETTI WITH ITALIAN TUNA & CAPERS
My girlfriend's father gave us some cans of this wonderful, imported Italian tuna. This recipe is my attempt at re-creating HIS recipe for pasta with tuna and red sauce. Lauren's dad would often make this for me when I came to dinner because it had contained no meat. The Italian tuna packed in oil gives this sauce a wonderully "meaty" flavor that I absolutely love. My granny's mother would also make a dish similar to this on on the Fridays of Lent when they could not have meat.
