EASY PASTA WITH TUNA AND TOMATO SAUCE



Easy Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce image

This is my version of a tuna pasta dish with capers, anchovies, and tomatoes. I make it at least once a week as it is my husband's favorite and he proclaims it's restaurant quality. You can easy double the recipe if you're cooking for more people.
