  • lemon
  • soy sauce
  • olive oil
  • sesame seeds
  • chili flakes
  • to taste

Kitchen Tools

  • pot
  • pan
  • grater
  • knife

Preparation

To start, cook the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, thinly slice the zucchini using a knife or mandoline. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the zucchini slices until tender. Set aside.
Next, season the sushi-grade tuna with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Sear the tuna in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until it is just cooked on the outside but still raw inside. Remove from heat and slice into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame seeds, and the juice of the lemon to create a dressing.
Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it and toss it in the pan with the zucchini. Add the sliced tuna on top and drizzle with the soy sauce dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy the unique combination of flavors!

Tips

For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a splash of rice vinegar to the soy sauce dressing before tossing it with the pasta. This will add a tangy twist that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
