Gentle Spaghetti with Tuna, Courgette and Olives
Courgette cooked to a loose sauce in garlic-infused oil with kalamata olives, tuna flaked through spaghetti and lemon squeezed over.
Ingredients
- 70 g Spaghetti
- 190 g Tuna
- 130 g Zucchini
- 25 g Kalamata olives
- ½ Lemon
- 2 tsp Garlic-infused olive oil
- 8 g Parsley (optional)
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it.
- Cut the courgette into thin half-moons, tear the olives off their stones in halves and chop the parsley. Drain the tuna.
- Cook the courgette in the garlic-infused oil over a medium flame for seven minutes, pressing it down now and then, until it softens and breaks into a loose sauce. Stir the olives through and kill the heat.
- Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until it still has a firm centre, about eight minutes. Drain, saving a ladleful of the water.
- Toss the pasta through the pan with a splash of the water until the courgette clings, then flake the tuna over in large pieces and fold it through once only. Squeeze in the lemon and scatter the parsley.
