Our Tuna Pasta Recipe – Quick and Tasty!

Our Tuna Pasta Recipe – Quick and Tasty!

There was a period when I used to prepare this tuna pasta at least once a week. My children were at school and we got back home together, all hungry and this quick and easy pasta recipe was often the solution.

This tuna recipe is prepared while you boil the pasta, really easy and quick. It is also a complete meal as it has tuna proteins (plus the cheese  and anchovies ones), carbohydrates from pasta and fat from extra virgin olive oil.

The ingredients you need can all be stored, so it can really be prepared when you feel like or when you have little time. You need canned anchovy fillets, canned tuna, garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley (optional), a pinch of red pepper and extra virgin olive oil…plus pasta and salt 😉

I prepared it today for me and my daughter’s lunch. I used the double of lemon juice I suggest in the recipe (I just love Italian lemon ;-)). I cooked 80 gr of pasta per person and we ate more than 1 plate each. These complete dishes satisfy you in many ways, with their flavor and taste, but also with a comforting quantity.

Use the pasta shape you prefer. I cook it often with short pasta, even if nobody resists to spaghetti…
