INGREDIENTS
- 1 pack ZENB Cherry Tomato, Garlic and Basil Gourmet Sauce
- 180g linguine (I used gluten free)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 fresh tuna steaks (240g)
- 1 garlic clove, sliced
- 8 - 10 kalamata olives, pitted + torn
- 1 tbsp capers, drained
- Salt + pepper to taste
- Sprinkle of fresh basil, roughly chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the linguine as per the packet instructions.
2.Meanwhile, season the tuna with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the olive oil to a non-stick frying pan. When hot, cook the tuna on a medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side or sear if you prefer. Set aside.
3.To the same pan the tuna was in, add the garlic, olives and capers and cook on a me-dium heat for 1 minute.
4.Add the ZENB Cherry Tomato, Garlic and Basil Gourmet Sauce. Transfer the pas-ta to the sauce and toss with tongs, heating until warmed through. Option to add 1 tbsp of pasta water if you like.
5.Flake the tuna and toss through the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning to taste. Top with fresh basil and cracked black pepper.
Tasty Tips
Use fresh tuna for the best taste or good quality tinned tuna in olive oil. Drain the tuna if using from a tin.
Top with fresh basil for extra flavour and a drizzle of olive oil if you like.
