pasta:
- 7 ounces (200g) fusilli pasta (spirals) or penne
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter or clarified butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 (14-oz. / 400ml) can crushed tomatoes or the same amount of tomato passata
- ½ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth / water
- 1 (5 oz /140g) can tuna preferably tuna in olive oil
- 14 green olives or black / calamata olives
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
- salt and pepper to taste
to serve:

Instructions
- Cook the pasta al dente (it should have a bite to it).
- Dice the onion, chop the garlic very finely.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan.
- Add the onion and cook for about 6 minutes over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning, cook, stirring, for one more minute.
- Drain the tuna using a sieve, cut the olives in half or into 3 parts.
- Add canned tomatoes, broth, tuna and olives to the pan. Cook, stirring from time to time, over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

- Toss with cooked pasta, serve with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Notes
- This pasta dish reheats very well. Can also be frozen.
- Instead of green olives, you can use kalamata or black olives, but green olives work best for me in this recipe.
- Instead of canned crushed tomatoes, you can use tomato passata or fresh tomatoes when they're in season.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
- Calories = 1 serving (½ recipe), this is only an estimate!
