TUNA & ARTICHOKE PASTA SALAD



Tuna & Artichoke Pasta Salad image

I have been making this light, tangy pasta salad ever since I was at the University of Wyoming in the late 1980s. Made with pantry ingredients, it's quick and easy. A nice lunch or summertime dinner with fresh fruit or hearty bread. Sometimes I add halved cherry or grape tomatoes for a little sweetness. Leftovers are just as good! (Prep time does not include cooking time for pasta.)

ARTICHOKES AND TUNA PASTA SAUCE (RACHAEL RAY)



Artichokes and Tuna Pasta Sauce (Rachael Ray) image

Started with a Rachael Ray recipe that looked amazing but very high fat and calories! Gave it a much needed fat and calorie makeover and this is how it ended up. It isn't a diet dish but much healthier than the original. Hope you enjoy! For the FULL fat and calorie version please see http://rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/spaghetti-artichokes-and-tuna/ Please use the best quality canned tuna you can afford. It makes all the difference! Also remember to buy sustainable! :)

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
5 ounces canned tuna, drained and flaked into small chunks
14 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and sliced (I use quartered)
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or equivalent fresh)
1/2 cup dry vermouth or 1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup fat free chicken broth
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 lemon, zest and jucie
1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
red pepper flakes (optional)
8 ounces spaghetti

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add butter and olive oil. When melted add shallots and garlic, and stir 3 minutes. Add tuna and heat through breaking it down as small as you want it. I like large chunks.
  • Add artichokes and thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add in vermouth or wine and chicken broth. Return to heat and reduce it a little just until it forms a nice sauce.
  • Add lemon juice and zest to sauce. Add 1/2 cup starchy cooking water to sauce before draining pasta. Toss pasta with sauce. I like to remove from heat and let the pasta absorb some sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Serve topped with parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired. Original recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs on top,.

TUNA ANTIPASTO SALAD BOWL



Tuna Antipasto Salad Bowl image

When the weather gets hot, we make a big salad for supper several times a week. This part antipasto, part tuna pasta salad, is my husband's favorite. With some crusty bread, it is a meal all in itself. It is easily adaptable to your family's preferences. I sometimes add other kinds of marinated vegetables and/or strips of mozzarella cheese or provolone cheese.
