FARFALLE WITH TUNA IN A BASIL LEMON DRESSING



Farfalle With Tuna in a Basil Lemon Dressing image

This is the quickest summer dinner we all love. The possibilities are endless as far as playing with it. I've added, at various times, roasted red peppers, capers, peas and toasted pignoli for some crunch. I first had this at a little deli in Los Gatos that has long since closed, but found something similar on Epicurious and adapted it a bit. This is a life saver when you're tired!

FARFALLE WITH TUNA, TOMATOES, AND OLIVES



FARFALLE WITH TUNA, TOMATOES, AND OLIVES image

Categories     Fish     Pasta     Quick & Easy

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 canned anchovy filets
1 teaspoon anchovy oil (from can)
14-1/2 ounce can seasoned chunky tomatoes
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives (about 12 large), quartered
1/2 cup slivered fresh basil
6-ounce can solid white tuna, undrained

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until al dente. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-high heat. Add anchovies and reserved anchovy oil. Using fork, mash to coarse paste in skillet. Add tomatoes, olives, and basil, and bring to a simmer. Drain pasta thoroughly. Mix pasta and tuna with its water into sauce. Toss to heat pasta through, breaking up tuna into large pieces with fork, about 3 minutes. Season pasta with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh tuna, tomatoes, and basil will give your farfalle salad the best flavor.
  • Choose a good quality tuna. Canned tuna in olive oil or water is a good option. Avoid tuna packed in brine, as it will be too salty.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Let the pasta cool before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing is a good option. Avoid using heavy dressings, as they will overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Farfalle salad is best enjoyed fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the pasta will start to absorb the dressing and become soft.

Conclusion:

Farfalle salad with tuna and tomatoes is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious farfalle salad that will impress your family and friends.
