Ingredients

  • 12 ounces linguine
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • 2 12-ounce cans albacore tuna packed in water, drained
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 4 cups arugula

Preparation

Step 1

Preparation

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.

Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper. Sauté 30 seconds. Add tuna; stir to heat through.

Add tuna mixture, lemon juice, lemon peel, and arugula to pasta. Toss over low heat just until arugula wilts, about 2 minutes. Add reserved pasta cooking liquid to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve. Adapted from Thorn Park Country House.
