Lemon-Herb Tuna Pasta with Capers
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed with flaky tuna, briny capers, and fresh lemon in a vibrant garlic-infused sauce.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
5 oz canned tuna in water
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
1 tbsp capers
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until al dente according to package directions, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until it becomes fragrant and translucent.
Add the drained canned tuna, capers, and red pepper flakes to the skillet, using a spatula to gently break the tuna into bite-sized flakes.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until the leaves are just wilted.
Add the cooked pasta and the reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat the noodles evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
Transfer the pasta to a bowl and garnish with the grated parmesan cheese before serving warm.
