Tuna, Caper and Olive Pantry Pasta
The perfect pantry pasta recipe. All thrown together in one pan to create an umami-rich, salty saucy bowlful of goodness in just 25 minutes.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Fill a large pan with water and bring it to a boil with a large pinch of salt.
Step 2
Chop the onion and garlic.
Step 3
Place a large frying pan onto a medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and chopped garlic sweat with a pinch of salt for 5-6 minutes. Add the chilli flakes and cook for a further 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour in the tomato passata, the drained tinned tuna, the capers and the olives. Season with pepper, sugar and the balsamic vinegar. Allow to simmer on a low heat while you cook the pasta until al dente for 10-11 minutes.
Step 5
Drain the pasta and fold it through the sauce, plus a ladle of the cooking water. Stir well before dishing up. If you fancy, top with a generous grating of veggie hard cheese and a peppery rocket salad dressed with a little more balsamic and olive oil.
