Blond Puttanesca Linguine With Tuna Arugula And Capers Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the capers and olives and fry 2 more minutes. Crush the tomatoes into the skillet with your hands and reserve the juices. Cook until the tomatoes are slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved tomato juices, the basil, and salt to taste and cook until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tuna with its oil, breaking it up with a fork, and season with salt.
• Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and return it to the pot. Add the sauce and the reserved cooking water and toss. Season with black pepper and garnish with more basil.

Steps:

• In a well-salted pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, saving 1 cup pasta water.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add garlic and scallion whites, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and capers and cook until anchovies melt and capers and garlic turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup pasta water, let it reduce until there is just a little left in the pan, then add pasta and herbs and toss well to coat. Add tuna and toss well.
• Serve with red-pepper flakes on top, more herbs, scallion greens, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the linguine.
• While the water is heating, place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet, add the garlic and cook over low heat for five minutes, until the garlic softens and becomes fragrant but does not brown. Add the tomatoes.
• Increase heat to medium high and cook for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes give off their juices and the sauce begins to thicken. Add the anchovies, capers, olives and red pepper flakes, lower heat to medium and cook about 5 minutes longer.
• As soon as the water comes to a boil, add the linguine and cook it until it is al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and place in a warm serving bowl.
• Add the basil, parsley and remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the sauce. Taste it and add a pinch of salt if necessary. Spoon the sauce over the pasta, toss it well and serve at once.
