Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces dry angel hair pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for tossing the pasta
One 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 anchovy fillets
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup roughly chopped pitted black olives
3 tablespoons drained jarred capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Drain, toss with some oil and keep warm.
  • Drain the tomatoes into a large bowl and reserve the juice. Roughly crush the tomatoes with your hands.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, anchovies and chile flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and begin to lose their shape, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the olives, capers and reserved tomato juice. Continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes more.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve with Parmesan.

DELICIOUS ANGEL HAIR IN TOMATO, TUNA AND OLIVE SAUCE



Delicious Angel Hair in Tomato, Tuna and Olive Sauce image

You'll love this blend of tomatoes, tuna and black olives in a homemade tomato sauce. My mom would make this during Lent for the family, but you'll want to make it all year round. My husband (who hates tuna), raves about this dish. It's different and very delicious. Tastes even better heated the next day. Serve with some garlic bread and a salad and you have a complete dinner.

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).

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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:

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your pasta dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp vegetables, and firm tuna.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unappetizing.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a light touch when seasoning: Tuna and vegetables have delicate flavors that can easily be overpowered by heavy seasonings. Use a light hand with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Add some fresh herbs for extra flavor: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley can brighten up the flavors of your pasta dish. Add them at the end of cooking for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with tuna is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With its light and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give angel hair pasta with tuna a try. You won't be disappointed!
