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.

pretty good
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I like the recipe, it was light and tasted healthy. I used about 1 1/2 cans tomatoes, added mushrooms,red pepper fllakes and... also added some parmasean cheese. Next time I would not put olives in it, but overall, good!Read more

great pantry meal!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Hadn't had a chance to shop for a while, and could easily adapt this recipe from things in my pantry or freezer. Substituted... a jar of Arrabbiata tomato sauce for the cherry tomatoes, and a mixture of green and black olives for the Kalamatas. Served over thin whole wheat spaghetti mixed with french-cut green beans (to lower carbs). Very yummy, and easy--the whole family loved it.Read more
