Number Of Ingredients 8

7 ounces tuna packed in olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan
3/4 pound fettucine

Steps:

Drain the tuna of all its oil and put it in a mixing bowl.
Add the garlic, parsley, egg, butter, cream, salt, liberal grindings of pepper, and the 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly amalgamated, using a fork to break up and mash the tuna. Taste and correct for salt and pepper.
Drop the pasta into a pot of abundant boiling salted water and cook until it is done but firm to the bite, drain, and toss immediately with the tuna mixture. Serve at once, with additional grated cheese available on the side.
