Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons finely minced garlic (about 3 cloves), divided
1/2 teaspoon dried red chile pepper flakes (or 1 small, dried red peperoncino, crushed with your fingers)
3 tablespoons salt-packed capers (soaked in water for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinsed thoroughly a few times to remove excess salt)
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 (6-ounces each) cans extra-virgin-olive-oil-packed yellowfin tuna (drained)
Fine sea salt to taste
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (chopped)
1 teaspoon lemon zest (grated)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (broken into several pieces)
1 pound short pasta (cooked to al dente and drained, 1/4 cup of the cooking water reserved)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a skillet large enough to hold the pasta, heat the oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the garlic, the red chile pepper flakes, and capers over medium heat until fragrant (but not browned), about 1 minute.
  • Add the wine and bring to barely a simmer; cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the tuna and salt to taste and sauté over low heat for 1 minute.
  • Toss the tuna-caper mixture with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic, the parsley, lemon zest, butter, cooked pasta, and as much of the reserved pasta cooking water as needed to form a creamy sauce that coats the pasta. Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.

PASTA WITH TUNA, FARLIC, LEMON, CAPERS & OLIVES



Pasta With Tuna, Farlic, Lemon, Capers & Olives image

This is a recipe I got from Pasta...made simple. I buy the "better" tuna in the can or jar in olive oil - it tastes less fishy and comes in more meaty chunks as opposed to flakes. This dish is a hit with my kids and picky tuna eaters and a super easy recipe. I usually don't carry gnocchi on hand and use penne or other short pasta. It looks like a very sophisticated dish and tastes like a sophisticated dish.

PASTA WITH TUNA, CAPERS AND SCALLIONS



Pasta With Tuna, Capers and Scallions image

There are about a gazillion ways to cook pasta using other pantry staples - things like garlic, bread crumbs, pecorino, capers, olives and especially, canned fish. This recipe, pasta with tuna, anchovies and capers, showered with lots of green herbs and scallions, is one of my family's household favorites. I like it with a long, thin, twirlable pasta - spaghetti, linguine or bucatini - but you can use whatever pasta you have on hand. Even macaroni works just fine and might even persuade your finicky kid to eat this dish (though, so far, mine abstains).

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Salt
12 ounces long, thin pasta, such as bucatini, spaghetti or linguine
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
6 to 10 anchovies, chopped
3 tablespoons drained capers
1 cup torn fresh herbs, such as parsley and dill, or celery leaves, plus more for serving (optional)
1 (5- or 6-ounce) can tuna, drained
Red-pepper flakes, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a well-salted pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, saving 1 cup pasta water.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add garlic and scallion whites, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and capers and cook until anchovies melt and capers and garlic turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup pasta water, let it reduce until there is just a little left in the pan, then add pasta and herbs and toss well to coat. Add tuna and toss well.
  • Serve with red-pepper flakes on top, more herbs, scallion greens, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.

PASTA WITH TUNA AND OLIVES



Pasta With Tuna and Olives image

If you want to make a complete meal of this, you can add a green vegetable to the mix (see the variation below). I like to use fusilli because I like the way the tuna gets lodged in the twists of the corkscrews, but other types of pasta, such as penne or spaghetti, will be just fine.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 6 1/2-ounce can water-packed light (not albacore) tuna, drained
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (to taste)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fresh tomato sauce or a good prepared marinara sauce
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or slivered fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup pitted imported black olives, such as kalamatas, cut in half or into quarters lengthwise
3/4 pound fusilli, penne, farfalle, or spaghetti
Freshly grated Parmesan for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. In a large pasta bowl, break up the tuna. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan or saucepan over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, and remove from the heat. Add to the tuna. Add the parsley or basil, and mix together.
  • Add the tomato sauce to the pan, heat through and season to taste with salt and add pepper and the red pepper flakes if using. Stir in the olives.
  • When the water for the pasta comes to a boil, add a generous tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook al dente, until firm to the bite, following the cooking instructions on the package but checking the pasta a minute or two before the indicated time. Remove 2 tablespoons of the cooking water and mix with the tuna.
  • When the pasta is al dente, drain and transfer to the bowl with the tuna. Add the tomato sauce with the olives, toss everything together, and serve. Pass the Parmesan at the table.
