BEFORE YOU GET GOING
Read the whole recipe. The prep instructions are displayed in the ingredient list, directly under the item they apply to. You can either do all your prep before you start, or as you get to each item in the method.
PERFECT PASTA
Boil the kettle. Place a pot for the pasta over a high heat. Fill with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, a drizzle of oil and bring back up to the boil. Add the pasta to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion.
PREP THE TUNA
Pat the tuna dry with some paper towel. Cut into bite-size cubes and place in a bowl. Add a drizzle of oil and seasoning to taste. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate.
TUNA PASTA SAUCE
When the pasta is almost ready, place a large, nonstick pan over a medium heat with 50ml of olive oil. When heated slightly, add in the halved olives, drained Capers, grated garlic, halved Baby Tomatoes, and chopped Chilli to taste. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened. Add the tuna pieces, chopped parsley, and cooked pasta to the pan and toss through for 2-3 minutes. If you prefer your tuna well-done, add just the tuna pieces to the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes, before adding the chopped parsley and cooked pasta. On completion, season to taste and remove the pan from the heat.
FRESH LEAVES
Toss the rinsed green leaves with a generous squeeze of Lemon juice. Season to taste.
TIME TO DINE
Dish up the delectable tuna pasta and garnish with the fresh, sliced basil. Serve with the fresh leaves and a Lemon wedge on the side. Bellissimo, Chef!
