Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head broccoli, separated into florets
1 pound penne pasta
1 pound fresh tuna steaks
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup white wine
4 medium tomatoes, quartered
1 pound mozzarella cheese, diced
8 large black olives, sliced
½ cup walnut pieces, toasted
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
¾ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Put a large pot of salted water on to boil; use this water to blanch the broccoli and cook the pasta. Blanch broccoli in boiling water. When it is al dente, transfer broccoli to a bowl of ice water. Drain thoroughly.
  • Cook penne in salted, boiling water until al dente. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until completely cooled, and then drain completely.
  • Meanwhile, place tuna in a skillet with water, white wine, and lemon juice. Cover, and cook until done. Break fish into chunks.
  • Combine broccoli, penne, fish, tomatoes, cheese, olives, walnuts, garlic, and parsley in a large serving bowl.
  • Heat olive oil in small pan over low heat. Cut anchovy fillets into small pieces, add to the olive oil, and mash with a fork until they dissolve. Do not let oil get too hot. Pour oil-anchovy mixture over salad. Toss, and serve immediately.
