Serve this simple-to-prepare pasta with crusty bread and a glass of Italian rosé (called rosato) or Pinot Grigio.

Ingredients

2 pounds tomatoes, halved, seeded, very thinly sliced
2 6-ounce cans solid white tuna packed in oil, drained, separated into chunks
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 anchovy fillets, minced
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped drained capers
1 1/4 pounds spaghetti
2 cups coarsely chopped fresh basil (from 3 large bunches)

Directions
