TUNA, CAPER & CHILLI SPAGHETTI



Tuna, caper & chilli spaghetti image

Throw together tuna, capers and rocket with garlic, chilli and spaghetti to make this easy and healthy supper. It takes just 25 minutes to make

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

150g spaghetti or linguine
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, sliced
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped, plus extra to serve (optional)
1 tbsp drained capers
small bunch of parsley, finely chopped (stalks included)
145g tuna in spring water, drained
90g rocket or baby spinach leaves
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Cook the spaghetti for 9-11 mins in a large pan of well-salted water until al dente.
  • Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a very low heat, and gently cook the garlic and chilli to infuse the oil. Remove from the heat if the garlic is turning past light golden, as this will make it bitter.
  • Drain the pasta, keeping a cupful of the cooking water, and tip the spaghetti into the frying pan. Toss the pasta in the oil over a low heat, adding a little of the pasta water to emulsify into a sauce that coats the pasta, then fold in the capers, parsley, tuna and some seasoning. Don't stir too vigorously - you want to keep larger chunks of tuna. Toss the rocket and lemon juice through the spaghetti, and serve with extra chilli scattered over, if you like.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON



Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

PERCIATELLI WITH GARLIC, WALNUTS, AND TOMATOES



Perciatelli with Garlic, Walnuts, and Tomatoes image

Perciatelli, also called bucatini, is like thick round spaghetti with a hole down the center. Liguine or spaghetti can be used instead.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 pound perciatelli
1/4 cup olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, peeled
3/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 whole canned tomatoes, drained, seeded, and sliced 1/8 inch thick
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, toasted
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino cheese, plus 1 ounce shaved

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 2 tablespoons salt. Add pasta; cook, according to package instructions, until al dente; drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large deep frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook, turning, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add cooked pasta, parsley, tomatoes, breadcrumbs, walnuts, red-pepper flakes, pecorino, remaining tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper; cook, tossing to combine, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide pasta among 4 plates and serve immediately, garnished with shaved pecorino, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Perciatelli is a long, hollow pasta that is perfect for this dish. It has a large surface area that can hold the sauce well. If you can't find perciatelli, you can use another long pasta like spaghetti or linguine.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The tomatoes are the star of this dish, so it's important to use the best ones you can find. Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Sauté the garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil: This will help to infuse the oil with flavor and give the dish a little bit of a kick.
  • Add the tomatoes and capers: The tomatoes will cook down and release their juices, which will create a delicious sauce. The capers will add a briny, salty flavor.
  • Stir in the tuna: The tuna should be cooked through but not overcooked. It should be flaked into small pieces.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is still bubbling.

Conclusion:

Perciatelli with Tuna, Capers, and Tomatoes is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover tuna. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is simply irresistible. The tender pasta, the juicy tomatoes, the briny capers, and the flaky tuna all come together to create a dish that is both satisfying and delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
