Ingredients
1 pound dried spaghetti or linguine
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
Generous pinch hot red pepper flakes, to taste
2 6-oz cans good tuna in olive oil, drained
Kosher salt
1/2 pound baby arugula
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
Bring a pot of salty water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve some cooking water before draining. In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, a couple minutes, then add the tuna and shred into flakes. Add a splash of the pasta cooking water to create a sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and the lemon juice. Add the cooked pasta along with the contents of the skillet back into the past pot. Toss well to combine. Add the arugula and continue tossing, allowing it to wilt, moistening with pasta water or olive oil as needed. Serve immediately.
