Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when tossed with the sauce.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• You can also add some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the pasta for added flavor and nutrition.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately after cooking to enjoy the freshness of the tuna and the flavors of the sauce.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the pasta in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
