Tuna pasta is always a good idea. Easy to prepare, easy to serve and ideal for any occasion. For lunch to be prepared on the fly, improvised midnight spaghetti, but also for an informal dinner without too many thoughts. The limit? The combined pasta + tuna can be repetitive. Here then a new classic to be used as an alternative to the usual recipe: tuna and zucchini pasta. The presence of this versatile and delicate vegetable, will allow us to play with textures and cooking, freeing the imagination and risking a little.
Raw
Start from here. If you love raw tuna you will find this simple version irresistible. Cut the zucchini and tuna into cubes (the vegetables into very small pieces, the fish into larger pieces) and let them stand separately in an emulsion of oil, lemon and pepper. They will take about ten minutes. Meanwhile put the spaghetti to cook, boil them and mix them with tuna and zucchini when they are warm. Complete with freshly ground pepper and grated lemon rind.
In the pan
If you love delicate flavors, you'll love this pasta. Heat some extra virgin olive oil in a pan with a clove of garlic and cook the courgettes that you have cut into slices. When they are cooked, remove the garlic and add the diced tuna, blanching it for just a few seconds. Boil the pasta and season it directly in the pan with this sauce.
With the cream
Using a versatile ingredient such as zucchini allows us to give a totally different look to our dish, which in this case will be green, creamy and … irresistible. To prepare tuna and zucchini pasta with the cream, peel the zucchini, cut them into 4 pieces and boil them in salted water. When they are soft, blend them with a little olive oil, some Parmesan and a few leaves of basil. Meanwhile, cook the pasta and sauté the tuna in a pan with sesame seeds. Season the pasta with the cream, completing each dish with tuna and sesame.
