Ingredients
- 350 g of pasta penne, fusilli or spaghetti, to taste
- 200 g yellow fin tuna in Orlando olive oil
- 300 g of broccoli florets only
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Chili pepper optional, to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmigiano Reggiano optional
Instructions
- Bring a pan of salted water to boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Drain the broccoli and set aside. In the same water, you will subsequently cook the pasta.
Cooking pasta
- Use broccoli cooking water to cook the pasta. Add the pasta and cook it ‘al dente’ following the times indicated on the package.
Preparation of the seasoning
- In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and add the crushed garlic cloves (you can remove them later if you prefer) and, if desired, a pinch of chilli pepper.
- After about 1 minute, add the drained tuna and mix well, letting it flavor for 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Add the previously boiled broccoli and sauté everything for a few minutes, stirring gently so as not to break it up too much.
Seasoning pasta
- Once the pasta is drained, add it directly to the pan with the tuna and broccoli.
- Mix everything gently over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, adding a little pasta cooking water if necessary, to mix the ingredients better.
Serving
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you like, you can complete the dish with a sprinkling of grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Tip
- You can enrich the dish with black olives or capers, which go well with tuna and broccoli.
- This dish is an excellent combination of proteins and vegetables, ideal for a balanced and tasty meal.
