Quick Easy Tuna Pasta Recipes

QUICK AND EASY TUNA PASTA

Steps:

• I like to use a wok to make this dish, just because you can use it easily to serve up by bringing it to the table and everybody can help themselves. You will also need a colander.
• Start by boiling a pan of water and start cooking the pasta. I always add a drop of olive oil to the pasta when I am boiling it. Then chop the onion and fry it in the olive oil in the wok until soft, then add the sweet corn (after draining the water from the tin) and fry for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat on the wok.
• Then drain the tuna in the colander over the sink to get rid of the brine/oil. Make sure the tuna is broken up and the liquid drained.
• When the pasta is cooked pour it over the tuna in the colander (make sure the colander is over the sink ???? ) to drain the pasta from the water. Then add the hot pasta/tuna to the wok and put the wok on very low heat while you mix everything together.
• Finally, remove from the heat, add the Mayonnaise to taste, and season with salt and pepper to suit. You could make it look fancy by adding some chopped coriander (but we don't normally bother!).

EASY CANNED TUNA PASTA

Steps:

• Boil a salted pot of water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions. Prep your other ingredients while it cooks.
• When the pasta is close to being ready, add the oil to a small pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and cook it for 30 seconds.
• Stir in the tuna, lemon juice, and parsley. Let it heat through.
• Once the pasta is done, add some of the pasta water (a couple tablespoons) to the sauce and then drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Optional: serve pasta with freshly grated parmesan cheese and lemon zest.

EASY PASTA WITH TUNA AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Empty tuna into a bowl and mash with a fork while pasta is cooking. Mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil, basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and fry the anchovies for 3 minutes. Add capers and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 3 minutes. Add tuna mixture and tomatoes; simmer sauce for about 5 minutes.
• Drain pasta and add to the sauce. Mix well. Stir in parsley before serving.
