Delicious pasta with arugula, zesty olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and canned tuna. Easy and satisfying!
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 pound (12 ounces) dried fettuccine, spaghetti or linguine
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (more to taste)
  • 2 6-ounce cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained
  • Salt
  • 5 to 8 ounces baby arugula
Instructions:
  • Prepare pasta: In a generous amount of salty boiling water (1 tablespoon of salt for every 2 quarts of water), cook the pasta until al dente, tender yet slightly firm.
  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, sauté garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil until fragrant. Add tuna, shred it with a fork, and season with salt. Keep warm on low heat while pasta cooks.
  • Before the pasta is fully cooked, reserve 1 cup of boiling water to prevent the dish from becoming dry later on.
  • Toss drained pasta with tuna, arugula, and reserved pasta water: Combine the pasta with the tuna mixture in a skillet or pasta pot. Mix in arugula using tongs and add some hot pasta water for a silky texture. The arugula will wilt beautifully as you gently toss everything together. Adjust consistency with more pasta water if desired.
