Pasta Sauce With Tuna, Capers and Olives image

I was hungry, and this was in the pantry. I was well pleased with the results. This is healthy, light and easy. I would have added 1 T of fresh basil and/or oregano if it had been on hand. Be careful to just heat the tuna, not to cook it or the texture will become tough. I used Kirkland solid white tuna (my favorite) but would have used Italian solid light tuna or tonno packed in olive oil if I had had it

I'm allergic to tuna, so I substituted salmon in this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe is too complicated. I prefer simpler pasta sauces.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a little bland.

This pasta sauce is a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this pasta sauce. The capers and olives add a nice briny flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I also like to add a handful of chopped fresh parsley to the sauce.
