Fusilli al Tonno alla Siciliana

Ingredients (Serves 2-4)

  • 200g Fusilli Pasta (or pasta of your choice)
  • 2 tbsp Diforti Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Sicilia IGP
  • 150g Diforti Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil
  • 150g Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 2 tbsp Crushed Pistachios
  • Salt & Black Pepper, to taste

Method

Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli and cook on medium heat for 10–12 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.


Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat Diforti Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften.


Step 3

Add the Diforti Yellowfin Tuna and gently break it into chunks. Stir to combine with the tomatoes, then season with salt, black pepper and lemon zest.


Step 4

Add the cooked fusilli to the pan and toss gently to coat. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water for extra silkiness.


Step 5

Remove from heat and fold through the fresh parsley and crushed pistachios for a fragrant, nutty finish. Serve immediately and enjoy a true Taste of Sicily 🇮🇹.
