In between me being able to cook, we eat dinners that Jim buys at Costco or Trader Joe. I get very tired of it, but lately I have a lot of hip pain. The MRI showed a tear, but Dr Christy said he doesn’t think the radiologist has seen a tear repair before. From the way it looked to him the repair was in tact and there was a lot of inflation. So another pill. I do feel a little better today. Anyway I finally with help made a meal. This is from The Easy Italian Cookbook by Paulette Liditra. She does zoom classer around here. I like them. This feeds 4-6
ingredients:
1# capellini pasta (angel hair)
1 (5 oz.) can turn preferably packed in EVOO
3 medium lemons, zested and juiced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
Leaves for 5-6 sprigs fresh Italian parsley, minced
1/4 C EVOO, or more as needed
1/2 C grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Black pepper
Directions:
- Heat 4 Qt. of water in a pasta pot . Bring to a boil.
- When water boils, add 1 T salt. Add the capellini. Cook al dente.
- Drain tuna and break it up into flakes. Put turn in a large mixing bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, EVOO, and grated parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix all and combine.
- When pasta is done, reserve 1/2 C pasta water. Drain pasta. Add cooked capellini to lemon-turn mixture. boss to combine and coat. Add a little pasta water or oil to moisten if needed, salt to taste.
- Serve with extra grated cheese for individual servings.
