- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/4 tsp. coarse black pepper
- 8 oz. medium shells

- Off heat, add the tuna, lemon juice, parsley, lemon zest, oregano and black pepper.
- Cook the shells in plenty of boiling salted water 5 minutes.
- Add the broccoli; cook until pasta is al dente, or firm to the bite, and broccoli is tender, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
- Remove 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and add to the tuna sauce.
