Ingredients:

300 g dried pasta shells
4 heaped teaspoons baby capers
500 g ripe mixed-colour cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried oregano ideally the flowering kind
1 x 220 g jar of tuna in olive oil from sustainable sources

Instructions:

Begin cooking the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water following the package instructions. In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the capers until crispy, then remove and set aside, leaving the aromatic oil in the pan. Add halved tomatoes and most of the oregano. Flake in the tuna, pour in 2 ladlefuls of pasta cooking water, and simmer until the pasta is cooked. Drain the pasta, reserving a mugful of cooking water. Mix the pasta into the tuna pan, adding a splash of reserved water if needed. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then serve. Top with crispy capers, remaining oregano, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, and enjoy.
