Best Hot Penne With Chilled Tomato Sauce And Charred Tuna Recipes

PASTA WITH TUNA, TOMATOES, GARLIC, CAPERS, AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of rapidly boiling water until al dente or done to your liking.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Place olive oil and the garlic in a large saute pan and turn heat to medium. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Add capers, anchovies, olives, and tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and become a sauce, about 8 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta. Add parsley and tuna and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

HOT PENNE WITH CHILLED TOMATO SAUCE AND CHARRED TUNA

Steps:

• Place all the sauce ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off until roughly chopped. Pour the sauce into a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Bring four quarts of water to the boil with one tablespoon of salt, or to taste, and add the penne. Cook, stirring down with the fork, for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a cast-iron skillet over high heat and sprinkle the pan with one tablespoon of kosher salt. When the salt begins to sputter, add the tuna steak, sprinkle the top of the steak with more salt and cook until lightly charred, about three minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board.
• Drain the pasta and toss with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Divide the pasta and sauce among four dishes. Slice the tuna into quarter-inch slices and place over the sauce. Serve immediately.
