Zingy Pasta with Wild Yellowfin Tuna in EVOO
10 mins prepServes 2
This zingy pasta dish is packed full of protein thanks to StarKist Wild Yellowfin Tuna in EVOO. Choosing tuna packed in EVOO over water provides superior flavor, and these pouches make it even more convenient to make a quick meal.
Heat a medium pot of water to a boil over a high flame while you slice the garlic and get out the other ingredients. Salt the water, and add in fusilli pasta. Set a timer for 2 minutes less than the “al dente” time listed on the pasta box. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When it’s warmed up, add the garlic, capers, tomato paste and Calabrian chili paste. Cook 4-5 minutes until the garlic is softened. Add the StarKist EVOO tuna and break it up. Let it get coated in all the flavors, then add the white wine. Simmer over medium heat until the pasta is ready. Reserve 1/3 cup pasta water before draining and adding the pasta to the pan with the tuna mixture. Mix well, and let the pasta finish cooking in the sauce, adding a bit of pasta water as needed if it becomes too dry. Taste for seasoning and add a bit of sugar for balance if it feels too sour (from the wine and capers). Garnish with fresh parsley.
