Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g tagliatelle pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 150 g canned tuna in olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 30 g fresh parsley
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 30 g parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, finely chop the garlic and parsley. Zest and juice the lemon, keeping them in separate bowls.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Flake the canned tuna into the skillet and add the red chili flakes. Stir well to combine and cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
Add the cooked tagliatelle to the skillet, along with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly.
If the pasta seems dry, add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired.
