TUNA & ARTICHOKE PASTA SALAD



Tuna & Artichoke Pasta Salad image

I have been making this light, tangy pasta salad ever since I was at the University of Wyoming in the late 1980s. Made with pantry ingredients, it's quick and easy. A nice lunch or summertime dinner with fresh fruit or hearty bread. Sometimes I add halved cherry or grape tomatoes for a little sweetness. Leftovers are just as good! (Prep time does not include cooking time for pasta.)

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON



Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

LEMON BUTTER PASTA WITH ARTICHOKES & CAPERS RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Lemon Butter Pasta with Artichokes & Capers Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by Birba25

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz angel hair (capellini) or spaghetti pasta
8 oz (about 2 cups) quartered artichoke hearts, frozen, canned or steamed till tender
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
6 tbsp butter
1/4 cup shallots, minced
3 tbsp capers, rinsed
2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper, optional (adds spice)
Heaping 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste
5 tbsp lemon juice, or more to taste
3 tbsp chopped parsley, divided

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse under cool water for a moment or two to keep the noodles loose. Reserve. In a large sauteuse, saute or sauce pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add artichokes and cover. Cook until thawed (if frozen) and slightly browned. Once browned, remove the artichokes from the pan and reserve. Using the same pan, heat 6 tbsp of butter over medium high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the shallots, capers, lemon zest, optional crushed red pepper and salt. Cook until the shallots are translucent. Carefully add the lemon juice and cook until a sauce develops. This will happen quickly. Add the cooked pasta, 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley and the artichokes to the pan. Toss to evenly coat. If the pasta seems too dry, add water, 1 tbsp at a time, to loosen it a bit. It should not be thick or heavy, the noodles should be lightly coated with lemon butter. Add additional butter, salt and lemon to taste, if desired. Serve hot and garnish with remaining fresh chopped parsley.

PASTA WITH TUNA, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, ARTICHOKE HEARTS, LEMON, AND WHITE WINE



Pasta with Tuna, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Artichoke Hearts, Lemon, and White Wine image

Bold flavors in a very light sauce: substantial and satisfying, good warm-weather alternative to spaghetti bolognese. You might think the sauce too thin the first time you make it (almost a thick broth), but it will be full of flavor. Quantities of tuna, sun-dried tomato, and artichoke are variable to preference, just be sure to provide an overall robust combination, always mindful of potential saltiness (esp. regarding the sun-dried tomatoes). Also, fresh oregano or lemon thyme could be substituted for thyme. This should go without saying: please don't put any cheese on this pasta.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
¼ cup olive oil, divided
½ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 ½ pounds fresh tuna steaks, cubed
½ cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
¾ cup sliced marinated artichoke hearts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook the onion 4 minutes, until tender. Mix in the thyme, and continue cooking 2 minutes, until onion is golden brown. Set aside onion and thyme. Place the tuna in the saucepan, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until browned. Set aside, and keep warm.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the saucepan. Return the onion and thyme to saucepan, and stir in the white wine. Cook until reduced by about 1 tablespoon. Mix in the chicken stock, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking 10 minutes, until reduced to about 3/4 cup.
  • Mix the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts into the saucepan, and cook just until heated through. Return tuna to the saucepan, and cook to desired doneness. Toss the cooked pasta into the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper.
