    Instructions:

    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.
    2. While waiting for the water to boil, drain the tuna and place in a large bowl.
    3. Zest the lemon and add the zest to the tuna. Then juice the lemon and add to the bowl.
    4. Add minced garlic, olive oil, and chili flakes (if using) to the tuna mixture. Mix well and set aside.
    5. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
    6. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl with the tuna mixture.
    7. Toss everything together, adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce.
    8. Add grated Parmesan or crumbled feta and toss again.

    Chef Tony's Tips:- The pasta water is crucial for creating a silky sauce, so don't forget to reserve some before draining!- Feel free to add other pantry staples like capers or olives for extra flavor.- This dish is great served warm, but it also makes a delicious cold pasta salad for lunch the next day.

    Enjoy your lightning-fast linguine, mates!
