Ingredients

1 pound pasta noodles such as: penne
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers rinsed, roughly chopped
2 anchovies, finely minced
1/2 cup pitted black olives such as kalamata, roughly chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or 1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup loosely packed, roughly chopped parsley or basil leaves
1 can rinsed and drained, white albacore tuna
1 teaspoon salt
Cracked black pepper

Directions

Cook pasta in large pot of rapidly boiling water until al dente or done to your liking.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Place olive oil and the garlic in a large saute pan and turn heat to medium. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Add capers, anchovies, olives, and tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and become a sauce, about 8 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta. Add parsley and tuna and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

I liked it but my husband didn't like the combination of flavors/ingredients.

Pretty good and definitely easy. I used chopped spinach instead of basil because that's what I had at the time. I think a finely grated strong cheese such as Pecorino really adds to this dish, which is somewhat bland with just salt, pepper and garlic seasoning the dish.

This was okay but there way WAY too much pasta for the amount of sauce. If I ever made it again I would change the proportions dramatically.
