Ingredients
12 ounces penne, cooked until al dente
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup olive oil
1 small whole dried hot red pepper
4 anchovies, finely chopped
1 small red and yellow bell pepper, finely julienned
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/8-inch dice
2 tablespoons capers
Two 6-oz cans tuna fish, packed in oil, drained and crumbled
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley for garnish
Directions
- Boil pasta until al dente. Saute onions in olive oil for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add hot pepper, anchovies and whisk in until anchovies dissolve into a paste. Add peppers and celery and saute for 5 minutes or until tender but still somewhat crunchy. Stir in capers and tuna and cook just to warm the tuna through. Season to taste with salt; remove hot pepper; add black pepper if you wish. Drain pasta and return to pasta pot; add sauce and toss; transfer to serving bowl & garnish with parsley.
