Pasta Tonno e Rucola (Lupin)
No-cook tuna, peppery rocket and lemon on a lupin base
Ingredients
- 180 g Lupin pasta
- 2 tin Tinned tuna
- 190 g Arugula
- 300 g Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Lemon
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ tsp Black pepper (optional)
Method
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
- While the water heats, halve the cherry tomatoes and drain the tuna. Whisk the olive oil with the juice of the lemon and the chili flakes in a large bowl.
- Cook the lupin pasta 5 minutes — one minute shy of the pack's 6. It softens fast, so drain it early rather than late.
- Reserve a splash of pasta water, then drain.
- Toss the warm lupin pasta into the dressing with the tomatoes and tuna, loosening with a splash of pasta water, then fold through the rocket so it just wilts.
- Add black pepper and serve.
