Serves: enough for 1 lb pasta
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup oil
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, paste ( or 1 clove minced garlic)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill ( can use dry if unable to find fresh, but fresh is fantastic!)
Instructions
  1. Use and immersion blender in a tall narrow cup combine all ingredients and place in blender and turn on, then pull the immersion blender up and down to emulsify the mixture.
  2. It will become thick and well blended.
Notes
You can also make this in a blender or food processor.
Add all ingredients except the oil, start blending the egg, lemon juice, garlic, salt and dill and drizzle in the oil as it blends to create a smooth, thick creamy sauce.
THIS sauce will cover a pound of pasta, cut the recipe in half if you only cook 8 oz pasta

Now… here is the bonus part of the recipe.

You can eat this dish HOT!

So it’s not your typical pasta salad you see, you can heat up a skillet and saute the vegetables for 3 minutes. Add in pasta and then pour on some of that delicious lemon dill sauce and stir it while over medium-low heat. Then crumble in 6 oz. can of Genova Yellowfin Tuna. I drained off some of the excess olive oil and left the tuna in chunks if you prefer you can add the tuna on top of the sauce and mix it all in if you prefer.

it’s also perfect for entertaining as you can prepare it ahead of time and have it in the fridge ready to serve.

It would be great stuffed into lettuce leaves too.

I used Genova Albacore Tuna in the cold pasta salad recipe. The flavor of Genova’s Tuna both Albacore and Yellowfin is delicious and it’s packed in olive oil and the flavor is just delicious.

One more way to enjoy the Lemon Dill Sauce and Genova Tuna is to mix it together and serve it with tortilla chips… YUM!
