TUNA PASTA WITH OLIVES & ARTICHOKES



Tuna Pasta with Olives & Artichokes image

Here we toss grilled tuna with pasta, artichoke hearts, green olives and tomatoes. Grilling the tuna gives this ultra-fresh pasta dish a subtle smokiness. But if you're pressed for time, try canned tuna in place of the grilled fish.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces tuna steak, cut into 3 pieces
¼ cup chopped green olives
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 ounces whole-wheat gobbetti, rotini or penne pasta
1 10-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and squeezed dry
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Put a large pot of water on to boil.
  • Toss tuna pieces in a bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried), 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. When cool enough to handle, flake the tuna into bite-size pieces.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
  • Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add artichoke hearts, olives, garlic and the remaining rosemary. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is just beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and wine; bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are broken down and the wine has reduced slightly, about 3 minutes more. Stir in the pasta, tuna pieces, lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with basil (or parsley), if desired.

PASTA WITH TUNA, ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND KALAMATA OLIVES RECIPE



Pasta with Tuna, Artichoke Hearts and Kalamata Olives Recipe image

This is a family favorite!

Provided by G. Stephen Jones

Categories     Pasta

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ pound penne pasta
2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
10½ oz tuna packed in olive oil (jar of imported Italian tuna)
14 oz artichoke hearts (packed in water or frozen, cut into quarters)
12 Kalamata olives (pitted and cut in half or quarters)
salt & pepper (to taste)
hot pepper flakes (optional)
drizzle olive oil (good quality extra virgin for finishing the dish)

Steps:

  • Get a big pot of water boiling for the pasta. Add some salt and throw in the penne pasta. Immediately give it a stir and cook until al dente. Be sure to save some a half or cup of the pasta water before draining.I like to add some to the sauce pan while cooking the artichokes. It not only helps with the cooking, it also helps the sauce stick to the pasta.
  • While the pasta is cooking, sauté the garlic in some of the oil the tuna is packed in. When the garlic gives off that incredible fragrance, add the artichoke hearts and olives. Let this cook for a couple of minutes to heat.
  • While the sauce is heating up, the artichoke hearts and tuna will break up into smaller pieces. No problem.
  • Here's where you may want to add some of the pasta water if you think the sauce is too thick. It helps thin out the sauce just a little so it would be easier to cover the penne.
  • Add the tuna with the rest of the tuna oil and use a fork to break up the large chunks. Cook for a few minutes until the tuna is warmed through.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
  • Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the sauce. I also like to drizzle a little good quality extra virgin olive oil for another layer of flavor.
  • Stir to combine well, plate it and serve. If you to give it a little pop, serve it with some hot pepper flakes to spice it up.

TUNA & ARTICHOKE PASTA SALAD



Tuna & Artichoke Pasta Salad image

I have been making this light, tangy pasta salad ever since I was at the University of Wyoming in the late 1980s. Made with pantry ingredients, it's quick and easy. A nice lunch or summertime dinner with fresh fruit or hearty bread. Sometimes I add halved cherry or grape tomatoes for a little sweetness. Leftovers are just as good! (Prep time does not include cooking time for pasta.)

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 quarts water
3 tablespoons salt
1 pound small pasta shells
Salsa Cruda:
1 (6-ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 cup drained and rinsed capers
1/2 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives
juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans imported Italian tuna in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a 10-quart pot, bring the water to a brisk boil. Add salt and stir in the pasta shells. When the water returns to a boil, begin timing and cook al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse. Transfer the shells to a large serving bowl. Stir in the reserved pasta water to keep the pasta from sticking to itself. Pasta continues to cook and absorb water even when it has been drained. Add in the salsa cruda ingredients and toss. Garnish with chopped parsley leaves.
  • Preparation time: 10 minutes; cooking time: 15 minutes

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality tuna in olive oil. Look for tuna that is sustainably sourced and packed in a BPA-free can.
  • If you don't have marinated artichoke hearts, you can make your own by marinating them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes.
  • To make the pasta salad ahead of time, cook the pasta and vegetables according to the package directions and let them cool completely. Then, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the pasta salad with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Tuna artichoke pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna and artichoke hearts. With its combination of flavors and textures, this pasta salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
