Ingredients
- 200 g spaghetti packet
- 4 tomatoes on the vine
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 3 anchovy fillet
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon italian herb blend dried
- 1 tablespoon parsley freshly chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tuna tin
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
- Heat up the oil in a pan, then chop the garlic and achovy fillets and add them to the pan.
- Cook the garlic and anchovies for about 30 seconds, the anchovies will completely melt away.
- Chop the tomatoes, and add them to the pan together with the capers - leave to cook until the tomatoes will become mushy, that should not take longer than 4-5 minutes.
- Toss in the pasta, lemon juice, flaked tuna, Italian herbs and parsley, give it a good stir, and remove from the heat.
- Serve hot!
Notes
- I used cherry tomatoes, but if you like to get a thicker sauce, you can use a tin of chopped tomatoes, and let them simmer until reduced by half.
- The fresh tomatoes, however, will bring that fresh touch I was after, and also a tad of sweetness to the dish.
- The chopped tomatoes tend to be a bit acidic, you can really tell the difference. By no mean, I have nothing against canned chopped tomatoes, I used them a lot in my everyday cooking. But some recipes can do with just a handful of fresh tomatoes, like this dish.
