Tonight my sister ended up cooking, but she already saw the menu plan so we managed to stick to it anyway!
Here’s how she did it:
Ingredients: (makes 6 servings)
- 600g pasta of your choice, Fusilli, Spaghetti or Farfalle would work best
- 1 tin tomato pulp
- 1 bottle tomato puree
- 2 tins tuna, drained
- 15 black olives cut into 3 rings each
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cube vegetable stock
- salt to taste
Optionals to add to the sauce:
- A bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped, added just before adding to pasta
- 1 chili pepper, finely chopped, added to sauce along with olives, tuna, etc.
Method:
- In a pot add the tomato pulp, tomato puree and the stock cube
- Use a little water to wash all the tomato out of the bottle and tin, add to the pot
- Bring to boil
- Add drained tuna, capers, sliced olives and pepper
- Mix well, lower heat and cover
- Let it cook while you prepare the pasta according to package instructions
- Stir occasionally, taste and adjust salt according to taste
- When pasta is drained, add a few scoops of sauce to the pasta and mix
- Place pasta into individual plates and pour more sauce over each one
- You can add grated Parmesan cheese on top or drizzle olive oil on it once served
- Enjoy!
























I love the combination of olives and capers. I make something similar but add anchovies to it as well. I just love it and it is so simple.
