Ingredients

  • Pasta – I use spaghetti
  • Olive oil – for the base of the sauce
  • Garlic 
  • Tuna – recommend using a can of tuna packed in oil for maximum flavor.
  • Lemon juice – for a pop of acidity and brightness
  • Parsley – a little freshness and herb flavor

Directions

  1. Boil the water with 1 tablespoon of salt. 
  2. Cook the pasta until al dente (Can be any pasta fettuccine, spaghetti, penne rigate, gluten free and so on). 
  3. Meanwhile, prep the other ingredients (cut parsley, squeeze lemon juice ). 
  4. When the pasta is almost done, heat up the oil in a saucepan. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of garlic and cook until fragrant. 
  5. Stir in the 6 oz tuna, 1 whole lemon juice, and chopped parsley.
  6. Let it heat through. Once the pasta is done, drain it, reserving some of the pasta water.
  7.  Add a couple of tablespoons of it to the sauce. 
  8. Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, and season with salt & pepper as needed.
