Step by Step guide
Step 1
Boil the green peas in slightly salted water until tender. Ideally, they should already be soft, but lately, I've been getting ripe and tough ones.
Step 2
While the peas are cooking, bring water to a boil for the pasta and salt it. Keep in mind that there should be five times as much water as pasta so that it can float freely.
Step 3
Now let's prepare the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and add the butter. Sauté the finely chopped shallots in the oil mixture until soft. You can also use regular onions, the smaller ones, and add a pinch of sugar, just a tiny bit.
Step 4
Add the finely chopped garlic to the onions. Be careful not to let the garlic burn, or the taste will become quite specific and even unpleasant.
Step 5
Drain the oil from the tuna and break the fillet into small pieces. I don't recommend buying pre-chopped tuna.
Step 6
Add the tuna to the pan, along with the cooked green peas. Season with salt, pepper, mustard, and lemon juice. Add chopped basil and thyme.
Step 7
Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pan, warm it slightly, and serve, seasoning with freshly ground black pepper and Parmesan.
