Tuna Pasta with Olives and Tomatoes

pasta

garlic

red pepper flakes

olive oil, divided

olive tapenade

lemon zest

arugula

lemon juice

fresh tomatoes, chopped

basil

salt and pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions in salted water.  Do not rinse.

Sauté garlic, pepper flakes, and olive oil for a few minutes until it smells fragrant and barely begins to color.  Add olive tapenade, tuna and the oil, and lemon zest and heat to warm, about a minute.

Add hot pasta, arugula, lemon juice (start with 1/8 cup and add more to taste), stir to combine.  Add tomatoes, sprinkle on fresh basil and add salt and pepper to taste.

Amazing! Just made it for dinner, so simple and delicious.

This was excellent.  A keeper.  I made my own tapenade using your recipe as a guide and using a mix of olives.  The recipe makes quite a bit so we had leftovers for lunch the next day.  I think a good quality tuna is important to the dish.

Superb. Cooked this up in record time with Trader Joe's pre-made olive tapenade (near the hummus aisle). And added a tin of TJ's marinated chickpeas as a topping. 

... gotta love a good Trader Joe's x Sylvia remix :)

Good the first night; delicious the second day (cold).

One of our favorites, in regular rotation at our house. Nice complement to our normal vegetarian fare. Olive tapenade creates such savory flavors, and the lemon gives it brightness. Leftovers are great for lunch the next day.

This is killer. Never knew I could like olives so much. I used spinach because I didn’t have arugula, and added red onion. Also sprinkled with fresh Parmesan. Quick and wonderful!

My whole family liked this recipe. Even my picky 6-yr-old ate a small portion and said it was good! I subbed spinach for the arugula and forgot to add in the parsley; it was still amazing of course. I used gluten free chickpea pasta. I made the olive tapenade to go with and *so good*, will use the rest of that for our New Year’s Eve spread tomorrow! Thank you Tonia. Sylvia, as a gluten and dairy-free eater, I have used your recipes for years (usually I try a different one each time for fun), they’re my go-tos for dinner! 😍

This recipe was really really good.  I used spinach instead of arugula as my husband doesn't like it, but other than that, followed the recipe.  Will definitely make again.

Really enjoyed this! I had extra arugula, so I served it over a bed of arugula with a bit of the extra tapenade (made using the FAH recipe). It makes surprisingly good leftovers.
