  • Prep Time 25 minutes
  • Total Time 25 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
    • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 3/4 pound spaghetti
    • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 3 tablespoons slivered Kalamata olives
    • 2 cans (6 ounces each) chunk light tuna in water, drained

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse bread and 1 teaspoon oil until coarse crumbs form. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, tossing occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot. Add lemon zest and juice, parsley, olives, and 1 tablespoon oil; toss, adding enough pasta water to coat. Add tuna; toss gently. Serve sprinkled with breadcrumbs.
