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

Steps:

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.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON

Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.
