Cook Pasta and Mix

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it's bubbling, add the capellini and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite. While the pasta cooks, squeeze the lemon juice into a big bowl, making sure to catch any seeds. Pour in the olive oil and give it a good stir. Then mix in the Parmesan, chopped parsley, lemon zest, garlic, a pinch of salt, and some crushed red pepper until everything is well combined. Add the tuna, breaking it up gently so you have nice chunks, and carefully fold in the cannellini beans. When the pasta is done, drain it and toss it right into the bowl with the tuna mixture. Give everything a good mix and serve it up while it’s fresh and flavorful.
