Tuna Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan and add the onion; saute onion until it is translucent, 2-3 minutes, then add tomatoes and garlic; season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes and boil over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until thickened somewhat; add basil and simmer 2 more minutes; add tuna, turn off heat and allow to 'sit' (flavours will blend) for 5 minutes.
• This makes a very thick, flavourful sauce (you can thin with a little boiling water or some of the pasta cooking water if it's too thick for your liking).
• Distribute pasta amongst 4 plates and top with sauce; pass grated parmesan cheese at the table or, alternatively, toss pasta and sauce together, then serve, passing grated cheese.
• Note: If you don't want your sauce to be as 'chunky', you can puree the tomatoes before using.

Steps:

• Drain tuna and reserve oil. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Stir in pasta and cook until just done, about 8 minutes. Pour into a colander and drain under cool running water. Place reserved oil in a large bowl. Add dill, salt, pepper, lemon juice, lime juice, vinegar and olive oil, whisking to combine. Add tuna, pasta, tomatoes, garbanzo beans and spinach, tossing to combine. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine tuna, peas, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, oregano, and basil; mix well.
• Cook until heated through and add cooked pasta; mix well. Adjust seasoning as needed; serve.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of rapidly boiling water until al dente or done to your liking.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Place olive oil and the garlic in a large saute pan and turn heat to medium. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.
