SPICY TUNA PASTA



spicy tuna pasta image

This is a recipe I tried at a friends house once. The combination is actually really tasty, I have made it unsuccessfully and successfully. The difference being the chilli peppers. The heat works so well with the tuna. It's LOW FAT too!!!! Dairy free if served without sour cream. Just to clarify spring onions/scallions I consider to be the same thing.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't Overcook the Tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry. Cook the tuna for just a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Use a Good Quality Pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a high-quality pasta that is made with durum wheat semolina. This type of pasta will hold its shape better and have a more al dente texture.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.

Conclusion:

Spicy tuna fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With its combination of spicy tuna, creamy sauce, and al dente pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
