25 minutes

Spicy tuna pasta is a harmony of zesty tomato sauce with chili and tender tuna, creating a rich and vibrant flavor. The dish comes from European cuisine, where experimenting with seafood and pasta combinations is popular. Tuna in appetizing balls adds structure, while arugula provides freshness and a slight bitterness. The spicy note makes the pasta an ideal choice for lovers of spicy dishes, while the simplicity of preparation allows enjoying restaurant-quality taste at home. It's a great solution for a Mediterranean-style dinner when you want to feel full without overloading your body with heavy meals.
