Ingredients
- 300 g Pasta (penne or fusilli)
- 150 g Canned tuna in olive oil, drained
- 200 g Marinated artichoke hearts, quartered
- 150 g Roasted red peppers, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the drained tuna, breaking it into chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes to warm through.
Stir in the marinated artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated.
Sprinkle in the lemon zest, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to distribute the flavors evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
