- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups To 1/2 Cup Reserved Pasta Water
- 1/4 cups Parsley, Roughly Chopped

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bring a large pot of water to boil.
- Season the water with lots of kosher salt.

- Place the tuna on top and season with salt, pepper and top with more lemon slices.
- In a small bowl; combine pressed garlic, red pepper flakes, wine and oil.
- Whisk it together and pour over lemons and tuna.
- Seal up the parchment or foil to eliminate any steam from escaping and place the foil pack on a rimmed sheet pan.
- Place pan on the middle rack in your oven and cook for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of your tuna.
- (The tuna is done when a toothpick glides easily through the thickest part without meeting any resistance.)
- After 10 minutes have elapsed since the fish has been in the oven, drop the pasta into the seasoned water and cook as directed on the package.
- Pastas have different cooking times so adjust your time accordingly.
- When the pasta is al dente, reserve a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water then drain the pasta and transfer pasta to a large bowl
- When the fish has finished cooking, carefully open the foil pack from the top and remove the fish, being careful to keep the juices from spilling.
- Break apart the tuna into bite size pieces, then combine the cooking liquids with the pasta water.
- To the bowl of pasta, add the parsley, tuna and sauce liquids.
- Season with salt, pepper and shaved cheese.
- Toss and serve immediately!
