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).

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.

LINGUINE WITH GRILLED TUNA, CAPERS AND PARSLEY



Linguine with Grilled Tuna, Capers and Parsley image

Provided by Kristin Donnelly

Categories     Pasta     Tuna     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Parsley     Capers

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 unpeeled garlic cloves
1 large leek, halved and well-rinsed
1 pound fresh tuna, such as yellowfin
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
12 ounces linguine
2 cups parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon capers, roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Light a grill and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. Arrange the grill so half cooks over high heat and the other half can cook over moderately low heat. Meanwhile, soak 1 small bamboo skewer for 10 minutes.
  • Thread the garlic cloves onto skewer. Brush both sides of the leek and the tuna with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the tuna with the rosemary.
  • Oil the grill grates, then grill the leek cut side down and the tuna over high heat until grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the tuna and leek and move to the cooler part of the grill. Cook until the tuna is just slightly pink within and the leek is tender, about 8 minutes for the tuna and 15 minutes for the leek. Transfer to a work surface and let cool slightly.
  • Grill the garlic on the skewer over high heat, turning a few times, until blistered and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the outer layer of the leek and discard; thinly slice the leek crosswise, discarding any pieces that are tough, and transfer to a large bowl. Peel the garlic and finely chop. Flake the tuna and add the garlic and tuna to the leek.
  • Meanwhile, cook the linguine until al dente; drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Add the hot pasta, parsley, capers, lemon juice and the 1/4 cup of olive oil to the bowl and toss. Add the cooking water, little by little, if necessary, to loosen the sauce. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, then serve immediately.

PENNE WITH GRILLED TUNA AND CRISP- FRIED CAPERS



Penne With Grilled Tuna and Crisp- Fried Capers image

The fried capers add a nice unexpected touch--be sure to save the butter drained from them for another use, such as flavoring vegetables. I dipped some bread in it and that proved quite tasty, too. Watch the tuna closely---the chunks are easy to overcook, in which case they will be dry. -Adapted from License to Grill

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup capers
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 lbs tuna, cut into 1 inch chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt
freshly cracked black pepper
12 ounces penne or 12 ounces other dry pasta, of your choice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the capers and butter and bring to a simmer; the pan should be big enough so the capers can move around and fry freely, which will take 10-12 minutes (they should be golden brown and crispy when they are finished).
  • Drain off remaining butter and put the capers on a paper towel to drain.
  • While the capers are cooking, thread the tuna chunks on skewers, brush with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the skewers on the grill over a medium-hot fire and cook for 3-4 minutes per side (to check for doneness cut into one of the chunks--it should be pink but not red in the center).
  • Remove from grill and let cool until they are cool enough to slide off the skewers.
  • In the meantime, bring 4 quarts of salted water to boil in a large pot over high heat; add the pasta, return to boil and cook for 8-10 minutes, until pasta is tender but not mushy.
  • Drain and place in a large bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, grilled tuna and salt and pepper to taste; add capers, toss well, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh tuna, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful herbs will make all the difference in this dish.
  • Cook the tuna properly. Tuna should be cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that it is still slightly pink in the center. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful. The sauce for this dish should be rich and flavorful, with a good balance of acidity and sweetness. Use a good quality olive oil, and don't be afraid to add some fresh herbs and spices.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Linguine with Grilled Tuna, Capers, and Parsley is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. Next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
