Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 1 serving Spaghetti
- 1 can Canned Tuna
- 5 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 Green Onion
- 3 stalks Garlic Scapes
- Generous amount of Olive Oil
- 1/2 tbsp Butter
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Pepper
Recipe 🍳
- Boil water in a pot, season with salt for pasta water, and add spaghetti. Cook for about 6 minutes.
- Slice the garlic to a uniform thickness. Chop the green onion and garlic scapes into bite-sized pieces, suitable for eating with pasta.
- Generously coat a pan with olive oil, add the sliced garlic, and fry until golden brown to release its aroma.
- Once the garlic begins to color, add the prepared green onions, garlic scapes, and pepper. Stir-fry together to fully infuse the oil with the vegetables' flavors.
- When the vegetables soften, add the cooked pasta and stir-fry. Gradually add pasta water to achieve a light, saucy consistency.
- With the heat completely turned off, add butter and quickly shake the pan to emulsify the pasta water and oil into a creamy sauce.
- Add the drained canned tuna flakes and gently mix. Plate beautifully to finish.
- Boil spaghetti in salted water until slightly al dente.
- Stir-fry garlic, green onions, and garlic scapes in olive oil to create a fragrant base oil.
- Add pasta and pasta water, stir-fry, then turn off the heat. Add butter and tuna to complete the rich sauce.
Cooking tips 💡
- Adding olive oil while cooking pasta can coat the surface, preventing the sauce from adhering well. Use only salt.
- Ensuring uniform garlic slices prevents some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked, leading to a clean and consistent flavor.
- At the final step, it is crucial to turn off the heat and mix the butter without direct heat to ensure a smooth emulsion without oil and water separation.
