PANTRY PASTA PUTTANESCA
Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid; return pasta to pot.
- While pasta cooks, pour tomatoes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. Shake to release as much juice as possible, then let tomatoes drain in sieve, collecting juices in bowl, until ready to use.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Add capers and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until they burst and are crisp, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer capers to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving oil in skillet.
- Combine anchovies, tomato paste, and drained tomatoes in skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to caramelize and anchovies start to break down, about 5 minutes. Add collected tomato juices, olives, oregano, and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add pasta, remaining 1/4 cup oil, and 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid to pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring and adding remaining 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid to loosen if needed, until sauce is thickened and emulsified, about 2 minutes. Flake tuna into pasta and toss to combine.
- Divide pasta among plates. Top with fried capers.

Steps:
- Melt the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season aggressively with salt. Add the pasta and cook to al dente, 1 to 2 minutes less than the package recommends. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the anchovies and cook, using a wooden spoon to break them up, until the anchovies begin to dissolve into the oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic and chile flakes and cook, stirring, an additional 1 to 2 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic. Stir in the tomatoes, olives, capers, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the spaghetti and 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Cook, tossing, until the pasta is coated and the sauce begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Top with the toasted breadcrumbs and serve immediately.
