Ingredients

  • 200 g linguine
  • 160 g tinned tuna in oil, drained
  • 25 g capers, rinsed
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • a handful of parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Boil the pasta

    Cook the linguine in well-salted water until al dente.

    9 min
  2. Soften the aromatics

    Warm the oil with the garlic and chilli until fragrant but not coloured.

    2 min
  3. Build the sauce

    Add the tomatoes and capers and cook until the tomatoes slump, then flake in the tuna. Keep the flakes large — stirred to a paste it turns the dish grey and dull.

    5 min
  4. Finish

    Toss through the drained pasta with a splash of its water, then the lemon zest, juice and parsley off the heat.
