Tuna and Lemon Spaghetti.
Easy and quick main dish.
The fresh tuna and lemon pasta is certainly a fragrant dish that everyone will love.
A perfect dinner saver for the summer period.
A quick and easy dish as we say in Naples.
The taste of tuna is enhanced by the lemon and enveloped by a “bold” ingredient that seems out of place in the context, but I assure you it makes the dish even better.
What am I talking about?
Grated cheese. Adding this ingredient is really a great idea.
After all, it is also added to lemon pesto which is very popular at the moment.
A recipe that I will post soon also on my blog.
