SPAGHETTI WITH TUNA, MINT AND CAPERS.



Spaghetti with tuna, mint and capers. image

This recipe from the Aeolian Islands is a no-cook recipe, meaning you only cook the pasta. The combination of tuna, capers and mint mixed in lemon juice and olive oil gives this dressing a lot of flavour and the result is so fresh and summery.

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

400 g spaghetti
240 g tuna (canned or in a jar)
1 lemon
1/2 cup capers (salted)
6-8 mint (fresh leaves)
salt (for pasta water)
black pepper (ground, to taste)
3 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)

Steps:

  • Put the water onto boil for the pasta, add salt once the water starts boiling.
  • Rinse the capers under cold running water to remove the salt.
  • Then put the capers, the mint and drained tuna into a food processor or blender ( I used a hand held mixer)
  • Add the olive oil, the juice from the lemon, plus some grated lemon rind and season with freshly ground pepper.
  • Cook the pasta al dente in the boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet.
  • When the pasta is almost cooked remove a cup of the cooking water. Add half of this water to the ingredients for the dressing and pulse a few times until you have a rough sauce. (you don't want it to be too smooth)
  • Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it and return it to the pan with the dressing.
  • Add the rest of the saved pasta cooking water and mix everything together until the sauce starts to look creamy.
  • Serve immediately with a few whole capers and a bit of mint sprinkled on top.Buon Appetito!

Time 25m

Yield 2

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in olive oil, undrained
1 tablespoon capers, drained
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ pound spaghetti
½ tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add tuna with oil, capers, and crushed red pepper flakes; heat through.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water for 1 minute less than the package instructs, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.

I'm a real pasta fan and I like fish as well, so I decided to combine the two. When my granddaughters are over, I make this dish in tart tins, so each girl can have her own pie. That works for both pint-size and senior-size appetites.-Mrs. Ruth Lee, Troy, Ontario

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: Use fresh tuna, mint, and lemon for the best flavor. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can be used as a substitute for mint.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna should be cooked quickly over high heat so that it remains tender and flaky. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It will add a rich, flavorful taste to the sauce.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with tuna mint sauce is a light, refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its combination of fresh flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
