To prepare a delicious recipe of tortiglioni pasta with broccoli and tuna, we will start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 250 grams of tortiglioni pasta, 200 grams of fresh broccoli, 150 grams of canned tuna, 100 grams of green or black olives, 1 bell pepper (preferably red for an extra splash of color), 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
The first step is to bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the water starts to boil, add the tortiglioni pasta and broccoli, which should be cut into small florets. Boil everything for a maximum of 9 minutes, making sure the pasta remains al dente, meaning it should have a slightly firm texture when bitten. After the time is up, drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander, letting them cool slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients. Drain the olives well from the brine they were preserved in and the tuna from the oil, then chop the bell pepper into small cubes. These ingredients will add a special flavor to our dish. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and broccoli with the olives, tuna, and chopped bell pepper.
To add an extra flavor, add extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix everything carefully to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. This recipe is versatile and can be enjoyed both warm and cold, so you can choose to serve it immediately or leave it in the fridge for a few hours for a refreshing dish.
Before serving, you can add a few fresh basil or parsley leaves for a more attractive appearance and additional flavor. This recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, full of nutrients. Enjoy your meal!
