Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g pasta (e.g., penne or linguine)
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 150 g canned tuna in olive oil, drained
- 200 g marinated artichoke hearts, quartered
- 100 g semi sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 unit lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the drained tuna to the skillet, breaking it into chunks with a wooden spoon, and cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Stir in the artichoke hearts and chopped semi sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to combine all the ingredients, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry.
Stir in the lemon zest and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Plate the pasta and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
