Sticking to pasta recipes, the Odd Fork pinches pasta like there's no tomorrow! However, the Odd's Fork pasta recipes may be odd but they 're tasty and healthy as well!

There was half a packet of whole wheat penne pasta left from the previous post's recipe, so when the Odd Fork also discovered in its kitchen a can of smoked tuna in olive oil, it came up with the idea for the following pasta dish.

It boiled the pasta in salted water adding also some broccoli cut in small pieces. It drained, keeping aside some of the water.
It opened the can of tuna, drained it from the oil and put the tuna oil in a clean pot. It heated the oil and added a clove of garlic finely chopped and some lemon peel strips (only the yellow part of the lemon peel), mixing only for a few seconds.
The Odd Fork just wanted to give the tuna oil some extra flavor and taste, not to fry the lemon and garlic. Quickly it added in the pot the juice of half a lemon, the boiled pasta and the broccoli, the tuna, fresh oregano from its garden, salt and pepper.
It mixed all the above over medium heat (the water from the boiling pasta can be added to this point if necessary -the Odd Fork didn't use this water after all) and served the pasta immediately hot, adding some extra fresh lemon zest.

Pasta recipes are to be continued of course, all forks stay tuned!
