Biggest Loser Creamy Tuna Lemon And Garlic Pasta Recipes

BIGGEST LOSER CREAMY TUNA LEMON AND GARLIC PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta as packet directs then drain and set aside.
• Heat pan over medium heat and spray with olive oil.
• Cook onion for three minutes or until tender then add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until just starting to color.
• Increase heat to high and add lemon juice, zest and stock and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the evaporated milk and flaked tuna then cook for another 2 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper as desired (lots of pepper no salt for us).
• Add pasta and parsley to the pan and fold pasta and sauce together gently to combine. Heat just a couple of minutes until heated through.
• Serve hot in warm bowls topped with either the parmesan as the recipe suggests, or as we did with capers instead as they go wonderfully well with tuna.

GARLIC LEMON TUNA PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta. Return to the pot to keep warm.
• In the wide pan, heat the olive oil at medium heat. Then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tuna, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper, and heat through for 1 minute.
• Add the pasta, capers and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and continue to stir until the spaghetti is well coated. Add as much of the reserved pasta water as needed to thin out the sauce.
• Garnish with remaining parsley and serve warm.
