Ingredients
-
4 oz / 115 gr pasta
-
1 thinly sliced garlic clove
-
2 tbps halved black olives
-
12 halved cherry tomatoes
-
1 cup / 20 gr fresh rocket
-
1/2 cup / 120 ml pasta water
-
1 tbps extra virgin olive oil
-
kosher salt
-
black pepper
-
1 can tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil
-
grated Parmigiano cheese
Optional
Instructions
In a Stockpot with Pasta Insert, cook the pasta in boiling, salted water.
6 minutes before the pasta is done, pour the olive oil into a Chef Pan and turn on a low flame.
Add the sliced garlic and sauté briefly until lightly golden.
Add the olives and tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, until just lightly softened.
(Optional) drain the excess olive oil from the tuna, and add it to the pan
Use the Pasta Insert to strain the pasta well al-dente right into the Chef Pan without loosing the pasta water to the drain.
Add 1/2 cup of pasta water to the Chef Pan and sauté until fully incorporated, 1-2 minutes
Turn off the heat, toss in the rocket, sprinkle with the Parmigiano cheese (only if you skipped the tuna!) and enjoy warm or cold.
Recipe note
Canned tuna is a staple in most Italian households, as a convenient and tasty way to add protein to any pastas and salads. We recommend you get the best quality you can find, and always choose one packed in extra virgin olive oil: it makes a huge difference!
