Great summertime pasta dish, from one of my cooking magazines. Love the blend of flavors in this one. Top with fresh parsley, and serve with warm crusty bread.
Ingredients
- kosher salt shopping list
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
- 4 cups cherry or grape tomatoes shopping list
- 1 large clove garlic, minced shopping list
- One 6-oz. can light tuna in oil, drained and separated into chunks shopping list
- 2 Tbs. minced jarred pepperoncini (about 4 medium peppers, stemmed and seeded) shopping list
- 1 Tbs. lightly chopped capers shopping list
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 1 tsp. cold unsalted butter shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. packed, finely grated lemon zest shopping list
- 8 oz. dried angel hair pasta shopping list
- 3 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley shopping list
How to make it
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in an 11- to 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Add the tomatoes (be careful because the oil and juice can spatter) and cook until they begin to collapse and their juices run and start to thicken, 6 to 10 min. (If you have big, stubborn tomatoes, you may need to crush them a bit with a spatula or pierce them with a knife.) Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tuna, pepperoncini, capers, lemon juice, butter, and lemon zest.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and keep it warm while you cook the pasta.
- Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to package directions. Drain well, arrange in individual pasta bowls, and top with the sauce and the parsley.
