"In this zesty episode of 'The 5 Minute Chef', Chef Tony takes us on a nostalgic journey to his uni days, where late-night cravings and an empty fridge led to the creation of his Lightning Linguine with Lemon and Tuna. With his signature Aussie humor, Tony shows us how to transform humble pantry staples into a dish that's faster than a wallaby on red cordial and tastier than a sausage sizzle on election day. Get ready for a whirlwind of laughs, kitchen mishaps, and a pasta dish that'll become your new go-to for those 'nothing in the fridge' nights!"

Lightning Linguine with Lemon and TunaPrep Time: 2 minutesCook Time: 8 minutesServes: 2
Ingredients:- 200g linguine- 1 can (185g) of tuna in olive oil, drained- 1 lemon (zest and juice)- 1 clove of garlic, minced- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)- Salt and pepper to taste- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

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.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

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!
