How to Make Tuna Tomato Pasta Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in 2 (5-ounce) cans tuna, drained; 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved; and 1 tablespoon capers (optional). Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Meanwhile, cook 1 pound spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
- Drain the pasta and add it to the tuna-tomato sauce. Toss to coat. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
