How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes Lemon And Tuna
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an 11-12 inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pint cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to collapse and release their juices, about 6-10 minutes.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna (drained), 2 tablespoons drained pepperoncini peppers, 1 tablespoon capers (drained), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon butter.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- Add the drained pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Divide the pasta among serving bowls. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
