O călătorie culinară pe coasta Italiei gata în doar 20 de minute: paste Paccheri al dente, bucăți fragede de ton, roșii cherry suculente, capere aromate și o explozie revigorantă de lămâie proaspătă.
Preparation method
Boiling the pasta
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add plenty of sea salt once it comes to a boil. Cook the Paccheri pasta according to the package instructions until al dente (about 12-14 minutes). Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
Preparing the Mediterranean sauce
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely sliced garlic and chili flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until the garlic releases its aroma without burning.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the skillet along with the well-drained capers. Cook for 4-5 minutes, pressing the tomatoes gently with a spatula to release their sweet juice.
Chef's tip
For extra flavor, use high-quality tuna in olive oil and don't forget to add the pasta water to create a smooth, glossy emulsion.
If you want a crunchy touch, you can sprinkle a little breadcrumbs toasted in a skillet with olive oil and lemon zest on top.
