Ingredients
  • ¼ medium onion finely chopped (≈ 8 cm / 3' Ø)
  • 2 full tsp vinegar-brined capers finely chopped, well-drained (if you have salt-packed capers soak them in cool water for about 15 minutes rinsing them in several changes of water or they will be too salty)

  • 1½ tbsp tomato paste or tomato purè
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • salt to taste

  1. Put olive oil in a saucepan, add onion and capers and sauté for 1 minute.
  2. Dissolve tomato paste in the water then add to the saucepan.
  3. Add tuna, salt to your taste and cook for about 30 minutes, until water has evaporated.
  4. Before the sauce is finished, cook your favourite pasta "al dente".
  5. In a warm bowl mix cooked pasta with ½ tuna sauce.
  6. Serve pasta on a serving plate and put the remain sauce over.
