Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 2 cans (170 g each) solid white tuna, drained
  • 1/3 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and quartered (approx)
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes, (optional)

Preparation

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, garlic, oregano and pepper, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes and mash to break up; stir in tomato paste and lemon rind. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened and spoon drawn through sauce leaves space that fills in slowly, about 14 minutes.

With fork, break tuna into chunks; add to sauce along with olives. Heat through, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes; drain and return to pot. Add sauce and parsley; toss to coat. Sprinkle with hot pepper flakes (if using) and more olives (if desired).
