Pasta with Peppers and Tuna

I can provide you with an Italian recipe for preparing Pasta with peppers and tuna. Here are the ingredients and the procedure.

Ingredients

• 320 g of pasta (spaghetti, penne or as preferred)
• 2 medium bell peppers (red and yellow for a colorful dish)
• 1 can of tuna in oil (about 160 g)
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Chili pepper (optional)
• Fresh chopped parsley (optional)

Preparation

1. Start by washing the peppers, then cut them into strips or cubes, as you prefer.
2. Sauté the peeled garlic in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. If you like, you can add a whole or chopped chili pepper to give a spicy touch to the dish.
3. Add the cut peppers to the pan and cook over medium-low heat, covering with a lid for about 15-20 minutes. Check occasionally and, if necessary, add a little water to prevent them from sticking.
4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water following the times indicated on the package to achieve al dente cooking.
5. Drain the tuna from the preserving oil and flake it with a fork.
6. When the peppers are soft and cooked, add the flaked tuna to the pan and sauté everything to blend the flavors for a couple of minutes.
7. Drain the pasta and reserve a cup of the cooking water.
8. Add the pasta to the pan with the peppers and tuna, mix well and, if needed, add a bit of the reserved cooking water to make the sauce creamier.
9. Serve immediately, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

Enjoy your meal!
