Delicious tuna pasta with savory white wine sauce, capers, and herbs.
Ingredients:
  • Salt
  • 4 ounces bow tie (farfalle), linguini, or spaghetti pasta
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more)
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • Pinch chili pepper flakes
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tuna packed in olive oil, drained
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • Prepare the pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water (1 1/2 teaspoons salt per quart). Add pasta and cook until al dente as per package instructions.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and chili pepper flakes in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the canned tuna, capers, and salt in a pot, then pour in the wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for at least 10 minutes while the pasta is cooking. If needed, add more wine to keep the mixture moist.
  • Combine the drained pasta with the tuna mixture in the pan. Mix well. Drizzle with additional olive oil, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and season with black pepper to taste.
