Spicy Paccheri with Tuna … here is one of those first courses that I happily devour because they have a full, decisive, I’d say greedy taste, and they are not good, but much, much more!!!
I used some fresh chili peppers, pitted Taggiasca olives, a delicious tomato puree, and tuna fillets in a glass, making the dish spectacular. As with all recipes, using top-quality ingredients makes all the difference and not just the technique!
I didn’t add capers, but they certainly go great with this dish. If you add them, I recommend using desalted ones, clearly “washed” under running water and then left to soak in a bowl for a few minutes.

FOR THE PREPARATION OF SPICY PACCHERI WITH TUNA
We put a little extra virgin olive oil in a pan, and when it’s hot, we add a crushed garlic clove (which we will remove later) and let it brown.
We add the tomato puree and the fresh chili pepper, season with salt and pepper, and let it cook on low heat for about ten minutes.
Then we add the drained tuna fillets, slightly shredded, and the pitted Taggiasca olives, continuing to cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors well.
The sauce is ready, and we move on to cook the pasta.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the pasta, for me Paccheri n.125 De Cecco, cook for 16 minutes, 14 minutes al dente.
Once al dente, we drain the pasta and put it into the pan with the sauce, check the seasoning and add some basil leaves, then toss the spicy paccheri with tuna and plate!
Enjoy your meal!
