Ingredients
- 400 grams Linguini pasta
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 200 grams Canned tuna in olive oil, drained
- 100 grams Black olives, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 to taste Salt
- 1 to taste Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguini according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Step 4
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release some of their juices.
Step 5
Add the drained tuna, sliced black olives, and capers to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to gently break the tuna into smaller pieces.
Step 6
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
Step 7
Add the cooked linguini to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 9
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy your meal!
