Tuna Piccadilly With Creamy Italian Spaghetti Slaw Recipes

CREAMY TUNA PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine all dressing ingredients and set aside.
• Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

SPAGHETTI WITH TUNA AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add tuna with oil, capers, and crushed red pepper flakes; heat through.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water for 1 minute less than the package instructs, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
• Add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix to combine. Add some of the pasta water and toss lightly until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

SPICY TUNA PASTA WITH CREAMY FRA DIAVOLO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oil and wait until it shimmers. Add garlic and cook quickly, being careful not to burn, about 1 minute. Carefully transfer garlic slices to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
• Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt to the same skillet. Stir and crush down tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Remove lid from sauce and stir. Add in tuna steaks. Cover and cook until tuna flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 of the fried garlic, parsley, cream, and 1/2 of the basil.
• To serve, add pasta to bowls and ladle tuna sauce on top. Garnish with remaining basil chiffonade and fried garlic. Serve immediately.

TUNA, CAPER & CHILLI SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti for 9-11 mins in a large pan of well-salted water until al dente.
• Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a very low heat, and gently cook the garlic and chilli to infuse the oil. Remove from the heat if the garlic is turning past light golden, as this will make it bitter.
• Drain the pasta, keeping a cupful of the cooking water, and tip the spaghetti into the frying pan. Toss the pasta in the oil over a low heat, adding a little of the pasta water to emulsify into a sauce that coats the pasta, then fold in the capers, parsley, tuna and some seasoning. Don't stir too vigorously - you want to keep larger chunks of tuna. Toss the rocket and lemon juice through the spaghetti, and serve with extra chilli scattered over, if you like.

SPAGHETTI WITH ITALIAN TUNA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about six minutes.
• While the spaghetti is cooking, put the tuna and its oil in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic, olives and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Drain spaghetti, reserving a couple of tablespoons of cooking water. Transfer spaghetti to a bowl. Fold in tuna mixture, adding the reserved cooking water if needed to thin sauce. Season with pepper and serve warm or at room temperature.

SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO, CHILLI & TUNA SALSA

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling water according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and tomatoes and put in a large pan with the oil. Halve, deseed and finely chop the chilli, then add to the pan. Gently heat through for a few mins, stirring well.
• Drain the pasta and add to the sauce, then break up the tuna and add to the pan. Season if you like, then toss well and serve.

PASTA WITH TUNA, CAPERS AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• In a well-salted pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, saving 1 cup pasta water.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add garlic and scallion whites, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and capers and cook until anchovies melt and capers and garlic turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup pasta water, let it reduce until there is just a little left in the pan, then add pasta and herbs and toss well to coat. Add tuna and toss well.
• Serve with red-pepper flakes on top, more herbs, scallion greens, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
