Instructions
Step 1
Cook the pasta in a pan of heavily salted boiling water for 8–10 minutes, or as per packet instructionsStep 2
To make the sauce, put the tuna, egg yolk and lemon juice in a food processor and blend into a smooth(ish) paste. With the motor still running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream. If the mixture seems a little thick after adding all the oil then add a splash of water, you want it a little thicker than double cream consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepperStep 3
Drain the pasta and place into a large bowl over a bain marie. Pour in the sauce and toss to combine. Warm it very gently over a low heat – be careful as a rapid heat will split the sauce and scramble the egg. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens very slightly and begins to cling to the pastaStep 4
Mix the chopped red onion, capers and parsley together. Divide the pasta between bowls and garnish with gremolata mix and 2 anchovies per bowl
