Zest 1 lemon to obtain 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
Juice the lemon to yield 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
Thinly slice 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves.
In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 5 ounces of tuna (drained), and sliced basil. Gently break up the tuna with a fork.
Add 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes (halved) to the bowl.
Once pasta is cooked, drain it well and add it to the bowl with the tuna mixture.
Toss gently to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of pasta cooking water or more olive oil to achieve desired consistency.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra basil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional).
