TUNA, LEMON, BASIL, AND CAPER PASTA SALAD
Steps:
- Boil the pasta in big pot of water with the red wine vinegar (gives the pasta a bit of a bite). Cook until al dente. When the pasta has about 2 minutes of boiling time left, toss the green beans in to blanch them. Drain together. To make the dressing- smash the garlic through a garlic press, or use the back of a knife and a bit of coarse salt to mash the garlic into a paste. In a small bowl, mix the garlic with some salt and pepper. Drain the olive oil from the can of tuna to make a garlic puree. Squeeze the whole lemon into the puree, and add the salt and pepper to taste. Add a bit of extra olive oil if dressing is thick. When all is prepaired, stir together the pasta and green beans, the dressing, tuna, capers, parsley, and basil. Toss it all together with the butter lettuce, and enjoy!
