Pasta al tonno is traditionally made with tuna, but in this recipe, jackfruit takes its place. Just like commonly found canned tuna products, canned jackfruit products comes in oil, brine, with and without spices and herbs. When shredded, the jackfruit imitates the flaky, tender texture of tuna and can easily be seasoned to taste like it too.
