30 minutes

Simple tuna pasta is a dish that embodies the spirit of Italian cuisine: minimalism, simplicity, and rich flavor. This recipe, possibly born in the homes of Italian fishing families, combines the tenderness of canned tuna with a refreshing hint of lemon zest and the aroma of parsley. Pasta cooked to al dente perfectly absorbs the taste of juicy tuna and olive oil, creating a harmony of textures. Such pasta is an excellent choice for a light dinner or quick lunch. It does not overwhelm the taste with complex ingredients but instead reveals the beauty of simple products. Serving it with a glass of white wine enhances its exquisite yet homey character.
