🍷 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.

- Låt det bli varmt och tillsätt pastan.

Can I use fresh tuna instead of canned for tuna pasta?
Yes, fresh tuna gives an even better result. Sear the steak in a very hot pan for 2–3 minutes per side until just pink inside, then flake it into the sauce at the end. Canned tuna in olive oil remains the most convenient and flavorful everyday option.
What can I add to tuna pasta for more flavor?
Capers, black olives, cherry tomatoes and red chili are classic additions. A small knob of butter stirred into the sauce at the end adds richness and gloss. Fresh parsley or basil on top finishes the dish perfectly.
Is tuna pasta healthy?
Tuna is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and is low in saturated fat. A serving of tuna pasta with whole-grain pasta is a nutritious and filling meal. Use tuna in spring water rather than oil for a lighter option.
Can I make tuna pasta ahead of time?
Tuna pasta tastes best freshly made. If you want to prep ahead, cook the pasta al dente and combine everything just before serving. The sauce can be made a few hours in advance and gently reheated.
