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.

PASTA SAUCE WITH TUNA, CAPERS AND OLIVES



Pasta Sauce With Tuna, Capers and Olives image

I was hungry, and this was in the pantry. I was well pleased with the results. This is healthy, light and easy. I would have added 1 T of fresh basil and/or oregano if it had been on hand. Be careful to just heat the tuna, not to cook it or the texture will become tough. I used Kirkland solid white tuna (my favorite) but would have used Italian solid light tuna or tonno packed in olive oil if I had had it

PASTA WITH TUNA, CAPERS AND SCALLIONS



Pasta With Tuna, Capers and Scallions image

There are about a gazillion ways to cook pasta using other pantry staples - things like garlic, bread crumbs, pecorino, capers, olives and especially, canned fish. This recipe, pasta with tuna, anchovies and capers, showered with lots of green herbs and scallions, is one of my family's household favorites. I like it with a long, thin, twirlable pasta - spaghetti, linguine or bucatini - but you can use whatever pasta you have on hand. Even macaroni works just fine and might even persuade your finicky kid to eat this dish (though, so far, mine abstains).

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Salt
12 ounces long, thin pasta, such as bucatini, spaghetti or linguine
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
6 to 10 anchovies, chopped
3 tablespoons drained capers
1 cup torn fresh herbs, such as parsley and dill, or celery leaves, plus more for serving (optional)
1 (5- or 6-ounce) can tuna, drained
Red-pepper flakes, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a well-salted pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, saving 1 cup pasta water.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add garlic and scallion whites, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and capers and cook until anchovies melt and capers and garlic turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup pasta water, let it reduce until there is just a little left in the pan, then add pasta and herbs and toss well to coat. Add tuna and toss well.
  • Serve with red-pepper flakes on top, more herbs, scallion greens, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality ingredients you can find, as this will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.
  • Don't rinse the pasta after cooking: Rinsing the pasta will remove the starch, which is necessary for the sauce to adhere to the pasta.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine with Preserved Tuna, Capers, and Olives is a simple but delicious pasta dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of salty tuna, briny capers, and flavorful olives creates a complex and satisfying flavor profile. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
