Ingredients

Method

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook green beans in colander for 3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Remove colander and cool beans under cold water; set aside.

Add pasta to pot; cook for about 8 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain and return to pot or place in serving bowl.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook olives, capers, garlic, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes or until garlic begins to turn golden.

Add tomatoes; cook, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until beginning to soften. Stir in green beans; cook for 1 minute. Stir in endive and parsley; cook for 1 minute.

Drain tuna, reserving 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil. Add tuna and oil and olive mixture to pasta; toss to coat.
