PASTA WITH TUNA, TOMATOES, GARLIC, CAPERS, AND OLIVES
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.
PASTA WITH TUNA AND OLIVES
If you want to make a complete meal of this, you can add a green vegetable to the mix (see the variation below). I like to use fusilli because I like the way the tuna gets lodged in the twists of the corkscrews, but other types of pasta, such as penne or spaghetti, will be just fine.

Steps:
- Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. In a large pasta bowl, break up the tuna. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan or saucepan over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, and remove from the heat. Add to the tuna. Add the parsley or basil, and mix together.
- Add the tomato sauce to the pan, heat through and season to taste with salt and add pepper and the red pepper flakes if using. Stir in the olives.
- When the water for the pasta comes to a boil, add a generous tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook al dente, until firm to the bite, following the cooking instructions on the package but checking the pasta a minute or two before the indicated time. Remove 2 tablespoons of the cooking water and mix with the tuna.
- When the pasta is al dente, drain and transfer to the bowl with the tuna. Add the tomato sauce with the olives, toss everything together, and serve. Pass the Parmesan at the table.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality tuna that is packed in olive oil. You can also use canned tuna that is packed in water, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- If you don't have any capers on hand, you can substitute chopped green olives or sun-dried tomatoes.
- To make the dish more flavorful, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
- If you are using fresh tomatoes, be sure to seed them before chopping them. This will help to prevent the dish from becoming too watery.
- Serve the pasta with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.

Pasta with tuna and olives is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover tuna, and it is also a budget-friendly option. The combination of tuna, olives, and capers gives the dish a briny, salty flavor that is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the pasta.
