The most amazing CANNED TUNA PASTA!
FULL RECIPE WRITTEN BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Tuna pasta is such a great dinner to make when you don't have much in the cupboard. For canned tuna recipe cynics out there - it's time to take a leap of faith! This is seriously tasty, very economical and super fast - it comes together in 15 minutes flat, from start to finish.
PRINT RECIPE:
The most amazing canned tuna pasta
200g / 7oz spaghetti, or other thin long pasta
1 tbsp cooking salt, for cooking pasta
TUNA SAUCE:
285g/ 10 oz (approx) canned tuna in oil*, drained, oil reserved (pasta can take more or less, I use 3 x 95g/3.5oz cans)
2 clove garlic, finely minced
2 anchovy fillets*, minced (sub 1 tsp paste)
1/2 tsp chilli flakes/red pepper flakes (can skip)
2 tsp baby capers (or finely chopped pickles)
1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped (ok to skip)
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice (sub 1 tbsp apple cider or sherry vinegar)
1/4 tsp cooking/kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1. Cook pasta in 3L/3 qts boiling water with the 1 tbsp salt. Just before draining, scoop out ~1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
2. In the same pot, heat the reserved oil from the tuna cans over medium heat. Cook garlic, anchovies and chilli flakes for 1 min. Add pasta, capers and 1/3 cup of reserved pasta water*. Toss using 2 spatulas for 2 min. Add tuna, parsley, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper. Toss gently to mix through – try to keep some tuna chunks. Serve immediately!
Notes
* Not all tuna is created equal. The more you pay, the better. Not end of world if you skip anchovies AS LONG as you’re using the oil from tuna cans. If pasta cools down and is no longer hot and slippery with sauce, add splash of extra reserved pasta water then toss on stove until it reheats and becomes slick with sauce again.

======================================================
INGREDIENTS
300g Fusilli Pasta
400g tuna in olive oil (1 large Can)
1 large lemon
Small jar capers marinated in salt
120g rocket/arugula salad
Small bunch fresh parsley (chopped)
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
UTENSILS
Fork
Wooden spoon
Medium fry pan
Large pot (for boiling pasta)
Hand-held sieve
METHOD:
1. Tuna pasta needs good quality fusilli pasta, cooked one minute less than the required time, so start by adding 5L water to a large pot and put it on the stove to boil.
2. Next put your fry pan on the stove at a medium heat and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
3. Mix in 400g tuna, breaking it down into small pieces using a fork, then add the zest of a lemon before cutting it in half and squeezing fresh juice from both sides.
4. Stir the juice into the tuna pasta mixture using a wooden spoon before adding the capers and fresh parsley and mixing through.
5. Add salt, pepper, mix once more before leaving to simmer for 5 minutes then remove from stove.
6. Next add a pinch of rock salt to the pot of boiling water.
7. Put the dry fusilli pasta in the pot and cook 1 minute less than the required time.
8. Once the pasta is ready, put the fry pan back on the stove at a low heat and add 1 cup of pasta water before mixing using a wooden spoon.
9. Add the drained pasta to the pan and combine really well adding more pasta water if necessary. This will help thicken the tuna pasta mix.
10. Mix for up to a minute, remove tuna pasta from heat.
HOW TO SERVE:
Serve up a generous amount of tuna pasta in a flat plate or bowl. Using a spoon, scoop up extra tuna mix and add it to each serve so every mouthful is filled with the perfect combination of flavours.
Drizzle a dash of EVOO on top along with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley to garnish.
