Serves: 4


Ingredients
12 ounces Tuna steaks (thawed if frozen)
3/4 pound Fettuccine or Linguine pasta
1 Lemon (sliced)
3 cloves Garlic (minced or pressed)
1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1/4 cup Sauvignon Blanc white wine
1/4 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
1/4 to 1/2 cup Reserved pasta water
Salt & pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bring a pot of water to boil and season it with salt. Lay out some lemon slices on a baking sheet and place the tuna steaks atop them. Season the tuna with salt, pepper, and lemon slices.
  2. Combine the garlic, red pepper flakes, wine, and oil in a bowl. Whisk it together, then pour the mixture over the lemons and tuna.
  3. Seal up the fish & lemons in foil, then place the packet on the baking sheet and cook it in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. While the tuna cooks, prepare the pasta as directed until al dente and reserve a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Put the pasta into a bowl.
  5. Carefully remove the tuna from the foil packet and reserve the cooking juices. Break up the tuna into small pieces. Combine the cooking juices and pasta water.
  6. Toss the pasta with the cooking liquids, parsley, tuna, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese until well combined, then serve.
