LINGUINI WITH CANNED TUNA



Linguini With Canned Tuna image

This is a very nice main dish for two made with pantry ingredients. It goes together easily and the flavor is excellent. Be sure to use tuna packed in oil as it is more flavorful. I love the taste of the fennel in this. I am not sure of the source of this recipe.

LINGUINE WITH CANNED CLAMS, CHILES AND LEMON



Linguine with Canned Clams, Chiles and Lemon image

This spicy take on linguine with clam sauce uses affordable tinned clams for a quick and inexpensive version of the restaurant fave that comes together quickly. If your store carries them, opt for more flavorful smoked clams packed in oil instead of the brined version; they're priced about the same, but the smoked clams have a deeper, toastier flavor that works well with the chile flakes and toasted garlic.

Provided by Alejandra Ramos

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound linguine or spaghetti
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 large lemon, zested
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Three 3-ounce cans smoked clams in oil or two 10-ounce cans chopped or whole clams in brine, drained (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup dry vermouth or sherry (optional; substitute chicken or seafood broth or additional pasta water)
1 small handful of parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and season with 1 tablespoon salt. Add the pasta and cook 3 minutes less than called for on the directions on the box. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  • While the pasta cooks, combine the olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and the garlic starts to sizzle, remove from the heat and allow the garlic to toast. Juice the lemon into the skillet then add the butter, clams, vermouth, 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water and the cooked pasta. Stir to evenly combine, then turn the heat up to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and fully coats the pasta, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt as needed and add black pepper, the lemon zest and parsley. Use tongs to toss then divide among bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, and avoid tuna that is packed in vegetable oil.
  • Be sure to drain the tuna well before adding it to the pasta. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming oily.
  • If you don't have any lemon juice on hand, you can use white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar instead.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or parsley, to the pasta for extra flavor.
  • If you like a little bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pasta.
  • Serve the pasta with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Linguine with canned tuna is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying pasta dish that the whole family will enjoy.
