Ahi Tuna

Pesto Linguine

Method

Prepare the Ahi Tuna

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the Ahi tuna steaks and marinate for 15-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Tuna

    Preheat your grill on high. Remove the tuna from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time according to your preferred doneness.

Prepare the Pesto Linguine

  1. 3

    Cook the Linguine

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, and salt. Pulse until finely chopped. Slowly add olive oil while the processor is running until fully blended and smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Pasta and Pesto

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked linguine with the pesto. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. Add black pepper to taste.

Serve
