Linguine w/ Tuna, Walnuts, Lemon & Herbs




Source of Recipe


Source: Quick From Scratch - Italian


List of Ingredients




3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1 pound linguine

1/3 cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 6-ounce cans tuna packed in oil

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)

2 teaspoons lemon juice

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and thyme



Recipe



In a small frying pan, toast the walnuts over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Or toast them in a 350° oven for 5 to 10 minutes.


In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain.


Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the tuna and its oil and break up the tuna with a fork. Remove from the heat. Toss the linguine with the tuna mixture, the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, herbs, and the toasted walnuts.
