- Cook fettuccine according to package directions (al dente) - don't overcook. Toss with a few drops of extra virgin olive oil or possibly butter to coat and refrigeratein refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or possibly overnight).
- Hot the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add in garlic, pine nuts, red pepper flakes and minced basil and cook for about 5 min, not allowing garlic to brown. Remove from heat and allow to cold.
- Combine mix from skillet with cool fettuccine in a large bowl. Stir in tuna, pimento, olives, parsley and wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- For each serving, select a large flat lettuce leaf (or possibly several, if needed) and arrange on dish with a few slices or possibly red, green or possibly yellow pepper (or possibly more than one color if you have them) and a few slices or possibly Tbsp. of tomato.
- This fresh and colorful dish is quick to prepare and a great choice for warm Summer nights. Portions of the recipe (the fettuccine) can be prepared up to a day in advance.
