1 cup hot water (from the tap)
salt
3/4 pound farfalle pasta

When large pot of water comes to a boil, salt the water and add farfalle. Cook till about 2 minutes shy of done. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water then drain pasta and set aside. While pasta is cooking, heat a large saute pan over a medium flame with the olive oil. Mince garlic and rinse anchovies. Add garlic and anchovies to oil and cook for about two minutes, breaking up the anchovies in the oil to help it dissolve. Chop tomatoes if using fresh and chop olives roughly. Add tomatoes, olives, and capers to garlic along with chili flakes. Remove sun-dried tomatoes from the soaking liquid and add half the liquid to the saute pan. Save the remaining liquid. Thinly slice sun-dried tomatoes and add to the sauce along with one half cup reserved pasta water. Drain tuna and break up lightly with a fork. Let pasta sauce simmer until reduced by half. Add tuna, pasta, and remaining pasta water along with pepper to taste. Let simmer for another two minutes until pasta is al dente, tuna is heated through, and ingredients are all nicely distributed. If the pasta looks too dry, add remaining sun-dried tomato liquid. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

TUNA PUTTANESCA AND PENNE



Tuna Puttanesca and Penne image

Loosely based on"Every Day with Rachel Ray" Nov/06 edition. UPDATE: 08/26/2008 since everyone has increased the amount of garlic to 6 cloves, then I'll suggest that! Also, add some lemon zest. As for the heat - we enjoyed it the way it is. If desired, add some anchovies - it tastes great! Just ANOTHER UPDATE: 06/24/09 - increase the servings to 4 generous servings or 6 regular servings.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Fresh or canned tuna can be used in this recipe, but make sure it is of good quality. Look for tuna that is firm and has a mild flavor.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce as well.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the tuna, it is important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the tuna from cooking evenly and will also make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including olives, capers, and tomatoes. Feel free to use other vegetables that you like, such as artichoke hearts, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • Adjust the seasonings to your taste. The amount of garlic, salt, and pepper in this recipe can be adjusted to your taste. If you like a more spicy dish, add more red pepper flakes. If you prefer a more mild dish, omit the red pepper flakes.

Conclusion:

Tuna and farfalle puttanesca is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover tuna, and it can also be made with canned tuna. The combination of tuna, pasta, and vegetables makes this dish a hearty and satisfying meal. The addition of a tangy puttanesca sauce adds a flavorful kick that will please everyone at the table.
