Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse bread and 1 teaspoon oil until coarse crumbs form. Spread on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden, tossing occasionally. Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water; drain pasta and return it to the pot. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, olives and 1 tablespoon of oil; toss, adding enough pasta water to coat. Add tuna; toss gently. Serve sprinkled with breadcrumbs.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve a big salad on the side.
