Coarse salt
1 pound dried fettuccine
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
6 anchovy fillets, rinsed, dried, and minced
1 1/2 cups canned tomato puree

  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid, then strain the pasta. Stir the olives and tuna into the sauce, then gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until the sauce attains a pleasing consistency. Add the hot pasta and toss. Season with pepper and toss again.
  • To serve, divide the hot pasta among individual warmed bowls, topping each serving with some chopped parsley.

  • Add 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary to the sauce along with the black pepper.

I was disappointed with this dish. The preserved tuna was too strong flavored for my taste. I also found the capers and olives to be too salty. Overall, I would not recommend this dish.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used fresh tuna instead of preserved tuna, and it still turned out great. I also added a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes, which added a nice sweetness to the dish.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover preserved tuna. I had a can of tuna that I didn't know what to do with, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm glad I did! The dish was quick and easy to make, and it was very tasty.
