Grilled Tuna Loin

Penne and Tuscan White Beans

Method

Grilled Tuna Loin

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the tuna loin and let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.

  3. 3

    Grill the Tuna

    Place the marinated tuna loin on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Penne and Tuscan White Beans

  1. 4

    Cook the Penne

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare the White Beans

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the canned Tuscan white beans (drained and rinsed) and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked penne to the skillet with the white beans and spinach. Stir in chopped parsley, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.
