Description

A quick and flavorful pasta dish featuring tuna, garlic, and lemon, perfect for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta (spaghetti or your choice)
  • 1 can tuna (drained)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the drained tuna, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
  4. Toss the cooked pasta in the skillet with the tuna mixture until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For an extra punch of flavor, add red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic. Consider mixing in cream cheese for a creamier texture.
