Spaghetti With Tuna Mint And Capers Recipes

TUNA, CAPER & CHILLI SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti for 9-11 mins in a large pan of well-salted water until al dente.
• Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a very low heat, and gently cook the garlic and chilli to infuse the oil. Remove from the heat if the garlic is turning past light golden, as this will make it bitter.
• Drain the pasta, keeping a cupful of the cooking water, and tip the spaghetti into the frying pan. Toss the pasta in the oil over a low heat, adding a little of the pasta water to emulsify into a sauce that coats the pasta, then fold in the capers, parsley, tuna and some seasoning. Don't stir too vigorously - you want to keep larger chunks of tuna. Toss the rocket and lemon juice through the spaghetti, and serve with extra chilli scattered over, if you like.

SPAGHETTI WITH TUNA, MINT AND CAPERS.

Steps:

• Put the water onto boil for the pasta, add salt once the water starts boiling.
• Rinse the capers under cold running water to remove the salt.
• Then put the capers, the mint and drained tuna into a food processor or blender ( I used a hand held mixer)
• Add the olive oil, the juice from the lemon, plus some grated lemon rind and season with freshly ground pepper.
• Cook the pasta al dente in the boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet.
• When the pasta is almost cooked remove a cup of the cooking water. Add half of this water to the ingredients for the dressing and pulse a few times until you have a rough sauce. (you don't want it to be too smooth)
• Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it and return it to the pan with the dressing.
• Add the rest of the saved pasta cooking water and mix everything together until the sauce starts to look creamy.
• Serve immediately with a few whole capers and a bit of mint sprinkled on top.Buon Appetito!
