- Cooking Method: Boiling and Sautéing
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Cuisine Type: Italian
Ingredients
- 100g dried pasta (your choice!)
- 1 can (about 150g) of tuna in olive oil, drained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese, to serve (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Don’t let it burn, unless you’re a fan of burnt garlic (weirdo!).
- Add the drained tuna to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add it directly to the pan with the tuna. Toss to combine.
- Stir in the lemon zest and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your gourmet solitary dinner!
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap parsley with basil, or add capers for extra zing!
- Garnishing Options: Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or some cherry tomatoes for juicy freshness.
- Cooking Tips: For extra flavor, use the oil from the tuna can to sauté the garlic. Double the garlic if you want to ward off vampires… or people.
