Awesome Angel Hair Pasta With Tuna Lemon And Cherry Tomatoes Recipe
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
  • 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • One 6-oz. can light tuna in oil, drained and separated into chunks
  • 2 Tbs. minced jarred pepperoncini (about 4 medium peppers, stemmed and seeded)
  • 1 Tbs. lightly chopped capers
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp. packed, finely grated lemon zest
  • 8 oz. dried angel hair pasta
  • 3 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tuna, pepperoncini, capers, lemon juice, butter, and lemon zest.
  4. Season the sauce to taste with salt and keep it warm while you cook the pasta.
  5. 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.

The old mouth is watering.


This 5 recipe sounds absolutely delicious. Perfect for any time and it's such a nice change from the usual spaghetti dishes. Thank you.


Tasty thank you


Sounds fresh and flavorful - thanks, Sparow!


Sounds really good and I bet it would be even better with freshly grilled tuna steaks (just a suggestion for the upcoming summer season!). Thanx for sharing! :-)
