So we're here in our parents house and we're about to show you a really quick summery dish. Tono a limone
which is, what Meg?
Err, tuna and lemon!
So quick and so lush!
This for us is was a sauce that Mum, love her, when we go on holidays to Italy
she had to cook and clean because we were at our grandparents house, so she would never want anything
with hassle. We've got lemon zest. Hang on you haven't told them about the pasta.
We've got shells, called conchiglie, because shells are from the sea as is tuna. The intellect in the corner!
I hope Dad approves
Zest of a lemon and then the juice of a lemon
Do you want to start maybe chopping up some parsley?
Yep, stalks and all?
Yeah, why not?
Shall I taste the pasta Em? Yup, give it a go
We want it nice and al dente, which
the best way to describe al dente is that it's got a bite, so you want it to be soft
but have a tiny little
and definately not like mashed potato. That's the worst. Not quite ready maybe a few more minutes
And I'm going to add some of the pasta water to this sauce because you want to help it thicken
it a little bit
Everyone goes terrified when you add water because they go, ohh it's going to be like a soup but
you really need it, don't you? If you use the water from the pasta
Whooo!
Move!
Here we go.
In it goes
We've also got Italian tuna and it's in olive oil so
you don't need to add olive oil, you don't need drain it, again it makes the process a lot simpler
We're ready
Put in some parsley
It smells
delish!
It couldn't get easier than that
If you didn't have the tuna
you could put parmigiana in it
but if Dad was here right now, with the tuna, this is a big, this is a huge debate in italy
You never put
cheese with fish. You would hear Dad screaming from the end of the lane
To be honest, what Italian doesn't have an opinion? Exactly, true.
Now, let's see what our family make of it
err
Do you like that?
I just don't like the conchiglie that's all
but apart from that it's. Are you serious? What's the matter with conchiglie?
You can only have conchiglie with lentils!
Right okay!
I'm joking. A success then
