Pasta with peppers and tuna

I can provide you with an Italian recipe to prepare Pasta with Peppers and Tuna. Here are the ingredients and the procedure.

Ingredients

• 320 g of pasta (spaghetti, penne or as you prefer)
• 2 medium 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)
• Chopped fresh 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 chili or chopped to give the dish a spicy touch.
3. Add the cut peppers to the pan and cook on medium-low heat, covering with a lid for about 15-20 minutes. Check occasionally and, if needed, add a little water to prevent sticking.
4. In the meantime, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water following the package instructions to achieve an al dente texture.
5. Drain the tuna from the conservation oil and flake it with a fork.
6. When the peppers are soft and cooked, add the flaked tuna to the pan and toss everything together 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 necessary, add a bit of the reserved cooking water to make the sauce creamier.
9. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if liked.
