⏱ 25 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4

Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti or linguine
• 2 tins good tuna in olive oil, drained
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup pitted olives, torn
• 2 tbsp capers
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• Parsley
• Kosher salt

Steps

1. Boil the pasta in well salted water and save a cup of the water.
2. Warm the oil with the garlic and chili over medium until the garlic is pale gold, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes, olives and capers and cook 6 minutes until the tomatoes collapse.
4. Add the drained pasta with a splash of pasta water and toss until it comes together.
5. Off the heat, flake in the tuna, add the lemon zest and juice and the parsley, and toss gently so it stays in pieces.
