Ingredients
- 180g spaghetti
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 echalion shallot, finely chopped
- 2 clove/s garlic, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp nonpareille capers, drained
- ½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves roughly chopped
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 15 Greek Kalamata Olives, pitted and halved
- 235g bag baby spinach
- 1 unwaxed lemon, zest and juice of ½, ½ cut into wedges
- 240g pack No.1 2 Yellowfin Tuna Steaks
Method
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for 1 minute less than the pack instructions. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat 2½ tbsp oil over a medium heat. Add the shallot with a pinch of salt and fry for 2 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and capers; fry for 2 more minutes, then add the parsley, chilli and olives and cook for another 2-3 minutes before adding the spinach and lemon zest. Brush the yellowfin tuna steaks with the remaining ½ tbsp oil and season.
Drain the pasta and return to the saucepan, then add the olive mixture along with the lemon juice. Toss together and set aside. Return the frying pan to a high heat and cook the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden on the outside and cooked to your liking. Spoon the pasta onto plates, then top with the tuna steaks and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
