TUNA STEAKS WITH GARLIC PASTA

Slow cooking gives the garlic a sweet, mellow flavor.

4 servings

⅓ cup thinly sliced garlic

2–3 teaspoons olive oil

1 cup frozen peas

1 tablespoon minced fresh or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 tuna steaks (4 ounces each)

2 cups (8 ounces) orecchiette (little ears) pasta, cooked, warm

¼–⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. Cook garlic in oil in small skillet over medium heat 2 minutes; reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until garlic is golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in peas and rosemary and cook until hot, 1 to 2 minutes; season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. While garlic is cooking, broil tuna 6 inches from heat source until fish is tender and flakes with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes on each side; season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss garlic mixture with orecchiette and Parmesan cheese; top with tuna.
