PASTA WITH TUNA, CAPERS AND SCALLIONS
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).

Steps:
- In a well-salted pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, saving 1 cup pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add garlic and scallion whites, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 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.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 8 minutes. Add the beans and cook for a further 3 minutes until both the pasta and beans are just tender. Meanwhile, tip the tuna and its oil into a bowl and flake the fish, keeping the pieces quite large. Stir in the lemon zest, capers, chilli and plenty of salt and pepper.
- Drain the pasta and beans, return them to the pan and toss with the tuna mixture. Add a little olive oil if you need to moisten everything. Serve the tuna and lemon pasta on its own or with a tomato and onion salad.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and briny olives.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tuna, don't overcrowd the pan or the fish will steam instead of sear. Cook the tuna in batches if necessary.
- Use a good quality breadcrumb: The breadcrumbs add a nice texture and flavor to the dish. Use a good quality breadcrumb, such as panko or fresh breadcrumbs made from a good quality bread.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish and it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry. Cook the tuna just until it is opaque in the center.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and the tuna will get cold if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti with Tuna, Lemon, and Breadcrumbs is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of tuna, lemon, and breadcrumbs creates a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better.
