Spicy Tuna Pasta with Creamy Fra Diavolo Sauce image

This is a quick weeknight meal, and with the right tools, you'll have a fabulous meal on the table in under 30 minutes! I used a ginger tool by microplane to cut my garlic into thin slices, it's best to also use the microplane glove if using this method.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pound gemelli pasta
6 (4 ounce) tuna steaks
¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
2 tablespoons heavy cream
8 leaves basil chiffonade (thinly sliced fresh basil leaves), divided

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oil and wait until it shimmers. Add garlic and cook quickly, being careful not to burn, about 1 minute. Carefully transfer garlic slices to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  • Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt to the same skillet. Stir and crush down tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Remove lid from sauce and stir. Add in tuna steaks. Cover and cook until tuna flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 of the fried garlic, parsley, cream, and 1/2 of the basil.
  • To serve, add pasta to bowls and ladle tuna sauce on top. Garnish with remaining basil chiffonade and fried garlic. Serve immediately.

SPICY TUNA PASTA



spicy tuna pasta image

This is a recipe I tried at a friends house once. The combination is actually really tasty, I have made it unsuccessfully and successfully. The difference being the chilli peppers. The heat works so well with the tuna. It's LOW FAT too!!!! Dairy free if served without sour cream. Just to clarify spring onions/scallions I consider to be the same thing.

SPICY TUNA MANGO PASTA SALAD



SPICY TUNA MANGO PASTA SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Pasta     Side     Boil

Yield 30 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Mangos (2 large), ripe but still firm
Tuna packed in water (1 large can) or about 1 pound fresh cooked, chilled, and shredded
Small shell pasta (1 pound box)
Low Fat Mayonaise (1 quart)
Green Curry Paste (2 to 4 tablespoons)
Fresh ground black pepper (dash) for color
Grated Parmesan cheese (1 pound) OPTIONAL
Plain Breadcrumbs (4 cups) OPTIONAL

Steps:

  • - Prepare the pasta according to normal directions, drain, cool, and pour into a large mixing bowl. Set aside. - In a smaller mixing bowl, add the Green Curry Paste and pepper to the mayonaise and mix until thoroughly blended. Start with 2 tablespoons and add to your taste. Remember that the tuna, pasta, and mango will offset the bite, so you want it a little spicier than you think it should be. - Add the mayonnaise to the pasta and mix thoroughly. Use a rubber spatula to clean the bowl well. - Cook, cool, and shred the tuna (if preparing fresh) or drain the canned tuna well and shred with a fork. Put the shredded tuna into the small mixing bowl. - Peel and chop the mango into quarter inch dice. You want the mango pieces to be about the same size as the cooked pasta shells. Add the mango to the tuna and mix well. - Add the tuna mango mixture to the pasta, using a wooden spoon or your hands to blend well. - Plate the prepared salad and chill for serving. Add thin slices of mango to the top for garnish if desired. - OPTION Split the salad into casserole dishes lined with breadcrumbs or crumbled saltines, and heat it in a 300F oven topped with shredded parmesan cheese until melted. Do not overheat as the sauce is mayonnaise based and may get oily but the breadcrumbs can only absorb so much liquid.
