TUNA & ARTICHOKE PASTA SALAD



Tuna & Artichoke Pasta Salad image

I have been making this light, tangy pasta salad ever since I was at the University of Wyoming in the late 1980s. Made with pantry ingredients, it's quick and easy. A nice lunch or summertime dinner with fresh fruit or hearty bread. Sometimes I add halved cherry or grape tomatoes for a little sweetness. Leftovers are just as good! (Prep time does not include cooking time for pasta.)

PASTA WITH TUNA, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, ARTICHOKE HEARTS, LEMON, AND WHITE WINE



Pasta with Tuna, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Artichoke Hearts, Lemon, and White Wine image

Bold flavors in a very light sauce: substantial and satisfying, good warm-weather alternative to spaghetti bolognese. You might think the sauce too thin the first time you make it (almost a thick broth), but it will be full of flavor. Quantities of tuna, sun-dried tomato, and artichoke are variable to preference, just be sure to provide an overall robust combination, always mindful of potential saltiness (esp. regarding the sun-dried tomatoes). Also, fresh oregano or lemon thyme could be substituted for thyme. This should go without saying: please don't put any cheese on this pasta.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
¼ cup olive oil, divided
½ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 ½ pounds fresh tuna steaks, cubed
½ cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
¾ cup sliced marinated artichoke hearts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook the onion 4 minutes, until tender. Mix in the thyme, and continue cooking 2 minutes, until onion is golden brown. Set aside onion and thyme. Place the tuna in the saucepan, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until browned. Set aside, and keep warm.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the saucepan. Return the onion and thyme to saucepan, and stir in the white wine. Cook until reduced by about 1 tablespoon. Mix in the chicken stock, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking 10 minutes, until reduced to about 3/4 cup.
  • Mix the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts into the saucepan, and cook just until heated through. Return tuna to the saucepan, and cook to desired doneness. Toss the cooked pasta into the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper.
