Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
6 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup white wine
2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water, drained and broken into chunks
2 teaspoons salt
1 lb penne pasta
1 tablespoon salt, for pasta water
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
ground salt
black pepper
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot (for pasta).
  • While water comes to a boil, heat the oil, about 1/2 of the garlic, red pepper flakes and capers in a 12-inch skillet, and stir frequently until mixture is fragrant and sizzling, but not browned, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine and simmer for about 1 more minute; add the tuna and 2 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the tuna is heated through - about 1 minute.
  • When water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon salt and the pasta; cook until al dente and drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • Return the pasta to the pot and toss with the tuna mixture, the rest of the garlic, parsley, lemon zest, butter and reserved pasta water.
  • Season with ground black pepper and salt to taste; top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  • Serve immediately!

The sauce was a bit too oily for my taste.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'zesty'. I found it to be quite bland.

This pasta dish was a real treat! The zesty garlic lemon tuna sauce was incredibly flavorful, and the penne was cooked perfectly. I loved the addition of the capers and olives, which gave the dish a nice briny flavor.
