🍷 Wine tips
Vermentino — Tuna pasta with tomato and herbs pairs beautifully with a fresh Vermentino from Sardinia or Tuscany — fruity acidity and a light bitter note that perfectly complements the tuna. Pinot Grigio or a dry Provence Rosé are equally fine.

Ingredients
Method
- Koka upp vatten för pasta.
- Medan pastan kokar förbereder du vitlök, persilja, tonfisk och citron.
- När pastan nästan är klar, ta en stekpanna med plats för pastan och häll i oljan.
- När oljan är varm, tillsätt vitlök och låt den steka ca 30 sekunder. Rör i tonfisk, citronsaft och persilja. Tillsätt några matskedar pastavatten.
- Låt det bli varmt och tillsätt pastan.
- Servera med citronzest. (Parmesan serveras inte med fisk, men om du gillar det – kör på!)

- Use tuna in oil rather than in water for a richer flavour and better texture in the sauce.
- Add the tuna at the end and fold in gently to keep some texture and avoid breaking it up too much.
- Squeeze over plenty of lemon juice and add chopped parsley just before serving for a fresh flavour that lifts the whole dish.
FAQ
Yes, seared fresh tuna steaks add a premium feel to tuna pasta. Canned tuna in olive oil is the more common and convenient choice with a richer flavor compared to tuna packed in brine.
Spaghetti is the classic choice for tuna pasta, but penne, rigatoni, and linguine all work well. The key is to use a pasta that can hold the light olive oil-based sauce without becoming soggy.
Reserve a cup of pasta cooking water before draining. Add it gradually while tossing the pasta with tuna and olive oil to create a light emulsified sauce that coats the pasta evenly.
