This easy and quick dish is perfect for busy weeknights because it can be ready in about 20 minutes. More importantly though, it's full of delicious Mediterranean flavors.
3/4 lb. spaghetti
4 T. extra virgin olive oil
zest and juice of 1 large lemon
2 - 5 oz. cans good quality tuna, drained
large handful of fresh dill fronds, chopped
1/2 small red onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1/2 c. Greek olives, pitted
1/2 t. red pepper flakes, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper
Cook the pasta in well salted boiling water according to the package directions, just until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. (taste test the pasta 2 minutes before the cooking time on the package)
While the pasta is cooking, add the remaining ingredients to a large skillet. Break up the drained tuna with a fork into large chunks. Heat gently on medium heat on the stovetop until everything is hot.
Drain the spaghetti; add to the skillet. Toss well, adding a little more oil, if needed.
Serve.
