Description

A country-style Italian bread and a hearty salad of romaine with roasted peppers and black olives would be great with this pasta dish. Pears with walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese would be a nice dessert.

Ingredients

8 ounces perciatelli or spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 rolled fillets of anchovies with capers from can
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 14- to 14 1/2-ounce can ready-for-pasta chunky tomatoes
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 6 1/8-ounce can white tuna packed in water, drained well
3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Cook pasta in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add anchovies with capers and garlic and sauté 2 minutes, mashing to paste with back of fork. Mix in tomatoes with their juices and white wine. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add tuna and parsley and mix to break up large tuna chunks.
  3. Drain pasta. Add to sauce and toss to blend. Season to taste with pepper.
