Pasta with Tuna Cream delicious and exquisite. The recipe I want to share with you today is for a simple main dish that is prepared in just a few minutes. A very tasty and creamy Tuna Pasta. The sauce is made using only a mixer or blender, without cooking anything, and it’s also delicious cold now that the heat has finally arrived. I used linguine for the pasta, but any other type of pasta, long or short, is fine. I recommend also reading the recipe for my Tuna and Ricotta Meatballs and the recipe for my Lemon Tagliatelle. So let’s run to the kitchen and prepare together the Pasta with Tuna Cream

How to Prepare Tuna Pasta
While the pasta is cooking, whichever type you prefer, in plenty of salted water, prepare the sauce. Drain the tuna from its preservation oil. Pour the tuna into the mixer and blend with the addition of 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until you have a cream.
Transfer the tuna cream to a bowl and mix it with the creamy spreadable cheese. Also add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta al dente and toss it into the bowl with the sauce.
Add a pinch of pepper and the chopped parsley and mix well. Serve the Linguine with Tuna Cream hot or cold, they are always delicious!
