PASTA SALAD WITH MARINATED TOMATOES AND TUNA
Fresh, quick-marinated tomatoes make the best sauces for pasta salad because not much needs to be done beyond tossing the tomatoes with hot pasta, salt and olive oil. The juices from the tomatoes and the heat create a gloriously glossy combination. Feel free to make this pasta salad ahead of time, then toss in flaked tuna right before serving.

Steps:
- Toss cherry tomatoes, olive oil, shallot, garlic, oregano and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt.
- Add pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the shape and brand of pasta. With a spider or slotted spoon, strain pasta directly into tomato mixture and toss to combine. Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
- Stir in flakes of tuna and serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top. The pasta can be served hot or at room temperature.
GRILLED YELLOWFIN TUNA WITH OVEN-ROASTED PEPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Rub olive oil over each steak and season with salt and pepper. Transfer steaks to grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side for rare. Place in the refrigerator to make the slicing easier.
- Serve with Oven-Roasted Peppers.
- Over a gas flame, or under the broiler, roast peppers until the skin blisters and turns black, turning with tongs so they get evenly charred. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic for 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover, peel off the blackened skin, remove the core, and discard the seeds and ribs. Cut the peppers into thin strips and place in a clean bowl. Add the fresh herbs, shallots, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar and toss to combine.
YELLOWFIN TUNA WITH WASABI CREAM
Steps:
- In a spice grinder, coarsely grind peppercorns. Coat the tuna with the peppercorns, pressing them into the flesh of the fish. Add oil to a hot saute pan. Sear the tuna in the saute pan, for about 1 minute per side. Remove tuna from the pan and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce and orange juice and bring to a boil. Boil the soy sauce mixture until reduced by 70 percent and has achieved a syrup consistency. Cool. Whip the cream. Fold in the wasabi powder. Drizzle a little orange soy sauce onto each slice of tuna. Top with a little wasabi cream.
