Tuna And Pepper Pasta Recipes

TUNA AND RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In large serving bowl, combine roasted red peppers, tuna, parsley, olive oil, capers, garlic, and salt and pepper.
• Drain pasta. Toss immediately with tuna mixture.

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.

QUICK AND EASY TUNA PASTA

Steps:

• I like to use a wok to make this dish, just because you can use it easily to serve up by bringing it to the table and everybody can help themselves. You will also need a colander.
• Start by boiling a pan of water and start cooking the pasta. I always add a drop of olive oil to the pasta when I am boiling it. Then chop the onion and fry it in the olive oil in the wok until soft, then add the sweet corn (after draining the water from the tin) and fry for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat on the wok.
• Then drain the tuna in the colander over the sink to get rid of the brine/oil. Make sure the tuna is broken up and the liquid drained.
• When the pasta is cooked pour it over the tuna in the colander (make sure the colander is over the sink ???? ) to drain the pasta from the water. Then add the hot pasta/tuna to the wok and put the wok on very low heat while you mix everything together.
• Finally, remove from the heat, add the Mayonnaise to taste, and season with salt and pepper to suit. You could make it look fancy by adding some chopped coriander (but we don't normally bother!).

SPAGHETTI WITH TUNA AND CAPERS

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.
• Add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix to combine. Add some of the pasta water and toss lightly until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

TUNA AND PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• Halve and de-seed the peppers. Place on an oiled baking sheet and cook at 180c/gas mark 6 until the skins have wrinkled and are beginning to blacken. When the peppers have cooled enough to handle, remove the skins and chop into bite size pieces.
• Place the peppers in a bowl with the olives.
• Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to which a splash of olive has been added.
• Whilst the pasta is cooking, drain the tuna and add to the bowl with the peppers and olives, roughly forking it through.
• When the pasta is almost cooked, heat the tuna and pepper mixture through in the microwave for 1/12 - 2 mins, stirring halfway through.
• Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Tip the tuna mixture into the pasta and stir to combine.
• Divide between 2 warm pasta bowls and scatter with the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle over the parsley.
• Serve with garlic bread.

PASTA WITH TUNA, ARTICHOKES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• While pasta is cooking, combine red peppers and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well.
• When pasta is done, drain well and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add pepper-tuna mixture and toss.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH TUNA, SPINACH, AND HOT PEPPER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and boil until al dente.
• While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-low heat. Add the garlic and hot pepper flakes and cook until garlic is fragrant and sizzling. NOTE: start with the 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, then work up from there with your taste.
• Add tuna and shred it into fine flakes with a spoon in your sauce. Season with salt and lemon juice, if desired. Lower the heat and keep warm while waiting for the pasta to cook.
• Just before the pasta is ready, set aside 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain pasta and return it to the warm pot set over moderate heat.
• Depending on the size of your pot and skillet: add the spinach and the tuna mixture to the pasta in the pasta pot, or add the drained pasta to the skillet with the tuna mixture and add the spinach.
• Toss all of this together with tongs, moistening with some of the reserved pasta water. The spinach will wilt in the heat of the pasta. Divide among warm bowls and serve immediately.
• Top with some parmesan cheese (if desired) and enjoy!

TUNA ARRABBIATA PASTA GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the peppers for about 5 mins until starting to caramelise. Add the garlic and chillies, cook for 30 secs, then tip in the tomatoes and olives (if using). Season, add a pinch of sugar, bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Heat the grill. Drain the pasta and mix into the tomato sauce, along with the tuna. Tip into a large ovenproof dish. Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan together and scatter over the top. Grill for 3-4 mins or until the topping is crisp and golden. Serve with a green salad, if you like.

TUNA PASTA WITH CAPERS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Finely slice the onion and cut the tomatoes in half.
• Add the olive oil to a large pan or skillet on a medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft (2-3 minutes).
• Once soft, add the tomatoes and red pepper flakes and saute until soft and can be squashed easily with the back of a wooden spoon.
• At this point, add the pasta to the water and cook until al dente (about 8-9 minutes).
• Once the tomatoes are soft, add the white wine and reduce it by half. Add ⅓ cup of pasta water (80ml), tuna, capers and a pinch of salt and pepper and simmer gently until the pasta is ready.
• Using tongs, transfer the pasta to the sauce the toss to combine in the sauce. Add the parsley and stir then serve.
