Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces (340 g) low FODMAP gluten-free fusilli, (I used Jovial brand)
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil, made with olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (16 g) finely chopped scallions, green parts only
  • 2, 5- ounce (142 g) cans light tuna, water or oil packed, drained
  • 10 pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 2 flat anchovies, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon brine-packed capers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely minced, made with a Microplane zester
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup (8 g ) finely chopped fresh flat leafed parsley

Preparation:

  1. Get a large pot of salted water boiling and begin to boil the pasta.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the Garlic-Infused Oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the scallions and sauté for a minute or two until softened. Stir in the tuna, anchovies, olives, capers, lemon juice and zest and sauté for about a minute so that everything is combined well.
  3. Drain the pasta MAKING SURE TO SAVE SOME OF THE PASTA WATER (save 1 cup/240 ml). Sorry for the caps, but you NEED it!
  4. Pour the drained pasta into the skillet, now over low heat, toss everything around with tongs, adding some pasta cooking water as you go; it will help blend everything and is integral to the dish. Season well with black pepper, toss in the parsley and plate up the pasta. Dinner is served!
