Mediterranean Tuna Steaks with Lime and Pasta...

Fast and frugal...yeah its winter but a bit of sunshine is always welcome.

For this dish, you will need: fresh or frozen tuna steaks (as many per dinner guest), olive oil, herbs, lime and pasta (large fettuccine spinach infused). A number of recipes call for capers, diced tomatoes, garlic... all of which are Italian cooking favorites. But, you can get an awesome taste even without those ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 375f. Take a glass dish, drizzle with olive oil. Lay in the 'thawed' tuna steaks, season with garlic powder and dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano. Pop them in the oven uncovered until cooked, about 18 min (depending on size of steaks) and even shorter time if you have convection option.

In that time, prepare the pasta by boiling in salted water until tender, drain and ladle onto a low lipped serving plate. Top with a few pats of butter and the tuna steaks including any juices that run off Lastly, finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
