Ingredients

  • 180 g Lupin pasta
  • 2 tin Tinned tuna
  • 500 g Cherry tomatoes
  • 30 g Kalamata olives
  • 1 tbsp Capers
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 Anchovy fillets (optional)
  • ½ tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Parsley (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  2. While the water heats, slice the garlic, halve the cherry tomatoes, and pit the olives.
  3. Cook the lupin pasta 5 minutes — one minute shy of the pack's 6. It softens fast, so drain it early rather than late.
  4. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
  5. Melt the anchovies with the garlic and chili flakes in the olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute.
  6. Add the cherry tomatoes, olives and capers; simmer 6–7 minutes until the tomatoes collapse, then flake in the drained tuna.
  7. Toss the lupin pasta through the sauce, loosening with pasta water until it coats.
  8. Scatter the parsley and serve.
