Equipment

  • Medium fry pan
  • large pot
  • Sharp knife
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 350 grams Marinated tuna
  • 500 grams Mezze maniche pasta Or Rigatoni if you can’t find these
  • 60 grams Fresh capers
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 10-12 Cherry tomatoes
  • EVOO
  • Sea Salt
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Boil 5L water in a large pot.
  • Finely chop a clove of garlic for your tuna pasta.
  • Heat the saucepan then add a generous drizzle of EVOO.
  • Once the oil has begun to warm, add the garlic then stir while it simmers on medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the marinated tuna to the saucepan.
  • Cook the tuna around ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add a glass of dry white wine and stir through once again.
  • Let the wine evaporate and in the meantime, cut the cherry tomatoes into 2-3 pieces (depending on the size).
  • Once there is just a small amount of liquid left, add the capers and cherry tomatoes.
  • After a minute or so, you will smell the flavours of the sea and your tuna pasta is almost ready!
  • Once the water has boiled, add the sea salt and stir it through and then the pasta (dependent on packet cooking instructions - best served al dente!).
  • By now the tuna mixture should begin to cook through which means it’s time to squeeze in half a lemon.
  • Stir well and let simmer on low for a few minutes.
  • Add a generous bunch of fresh parsley (chopped) and mix once again before sprinkling in a pinch of sea salt.
  • By now, your pasta should have boiled. Strain it well and add it to the saucepan with the tuna mixture.
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
