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).

Ingredients

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.

TUNA AND VEGETABLE FETTUCCINE WITH LEMON BREADCRUMBS

Tuna and Vegetable Fettuccine with Lemon Breadcrumbs image

Both easy and inexpensive, tuna-noodle casserole stretched proteins and carbohydrates to the limits and fed at least a generation of American kids very well. Canned tuna will never go away, but fresh tuna has joined it as a culinary staple, and it stars in this deconstructed version of the classic. All the elements that make tuna casserole so appealing and comforting are here, just slightly rearranged. And there's no need to serve this on a cafeteria tray: It's good enough for your best china.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

7 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
2 cups whipping cream
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
1 pound fresh tuna, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound fresh fettuccine
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley

Steps:

Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add lemon peel; sauté 1 minute. Add breadcrumbs; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine cream, tomatoes, peas and 3 tablespoons butter in large deep skillet. Simmer over medium heat until sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add tuna and simmer until tuna is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain. Add pasta, cheese and parsley to sauce; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Divide pasta among plates. Sprinkle with lemon breadcrumbs and serve.
