Tuna And Shallot Pasta Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH TUNA AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water; drain.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add tuna with its oil and garlic and cook, stirring a few times, until garlic is golden in spots, about 5 minutes. Stir in capers and pepper flakes and cook, 30 seconds. Add 1 cup reserved pasta water; bring to a simmer. Add cooked pasta and simmer, tossing a few times, until liquid is reduced to a sauce that coats pasta.
• Remove from heat and toss in lemon zest and juice, oil, and parsley; season with pepper. Add more pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until pasta is evenly coated. Serve, sprinkled with more pepper flakes.

• Combine butter, pasta, broth, 2 cups water, and shallots in a large straight-sided skillet or stockpot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until very al dente, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in asparagus; cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add arugula, Parmesan, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Fold in tuna and lemon juice. Serve immediately, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with more pepper and Parmesan.

TUNA AND SHALLOT PASTA

Steps:

• Cook Pasta according to packet instructions.
• While pasta is cooking, chop shallots and drain tuna.
• Drain cooked pasta and set aside.
• In the pan just used to cook pasta, gently fry shallots in oil until starting to brown.
• Add tuna and stir to heat. At this point splash in the worcestershire sauce, as much as you like!
• Add pasta to hot tuna mix and stir until pasta is fully coated.
• Grate in some cheddar cheese, stir around, then grate in a bit more. I find this gets the pasta coated better than just adding all cheese at once.
• Heat for about 5-10 minutes more. Leave it without stirring for little periods at a time, this allows the cheesey tuna to catch on the pasta and makes it crispy in places.
• Serve in deep bowls with a glass of wine :o).
