Ingredients

  • 7 ounces fusilli pasta
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 2 ounces oil-cured black olives, drained
  • 2 ounces sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 ounce capers in brine, drained
  • 1 (3 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
  • 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet and saute shallot until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add olives, chopped tomatoes, and capers. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 3
Drain pasta, add to the skillet, and toss to coat. Mix in tuna in chunks. Top with Romano cheese and serve.

Cook’s Note:

Use any short pasta shape you have.
