      Title: Mediterranean Tuna Pasta
 Categories: Seafood, Pasta, Vegetables, Cheese, Citrus
      Yield: 4 servings

     10 oz (2 cans)albacore tuna packed
           - in olive oil), drained *
      1    Tomato; cored, halved across
           - squeezed of excess juice,
           - chopped
    1/4 c  Pitted, kalamata olives;
           - coarse chopped
    1/4 c  Chopped red onion
      2 tb Chopped parsley
      1 tb Capers; coarse chopped
      2 ts Lemon juice
      2 tb Extra virgin olive oil
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
        pn Fresh ground black pepper
    3/4 lb Fusilli pasta; dry
      1 c  Grated Mozzarella cheese

  * If you are using a good quality brand of canned tuna,
  packed in good quality olive oil, there is no need to
  drain. The oil is highly flavored. If you question the
  quality of the olive oil, drain it, and add back the same
  amount of your own good quality olive oil (about 2 Tbsp,
  listed in the ingredients).

  Put pasta water on to boil: Heat 2 quarts of salted water
  (1 Tbsp kosher salt), to a boil. While heating the pasta
  water, prep the ingredients.

  Stir drained tuna with tomato, olives, onion, parsley,
  capers, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper: Place
  drained tuna in a medium bowl. Stir with a fork to break
  up the largest chunks of tuna. Add the tomato, olives, red
  onion, parsley, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and
  pepper. Stir to combine.

  Boil pasta until al dente: When the pasta water comes to a
  boil, add the pasta and boil, uncovered, on a rolling boil
  until al dente (cooked through, but still a little firm to
  the bite). Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

  Add pasta to tuna mixture, sprinkle with Mozz: Drain the
  pasta and immediately add the pasta to the tuna mixture.

  Sprinkle with the grated Mozzarella cheese and stir until
  everything is well combined. If the pasta seems a little
  dry, add some of the reserved pasta water and/or some more
  olive oil.

  Serve warm.

  Yield: Serves 4
