Ingredients: (for 4 servings)

• 300 g pasta of your choice
• ~ 10 anchovy fillets (~ 40 g)
• 150 g canned tuna (finished product after draining)
• 700 ml tomato sauce
• 1 large onion
• ~ 80 g pitted black olives
• a little olive oil
• salt + pepper
• fresh parsley

Preparation:

Cook the pasta according to the instructions, and when ready, drain and set aside in a colander.

Cut the olives in half lengthwise and then slice. Cut the onion into strips and drain the tuna.

In a large wok, heat the oil. When it is hot, add the onion and cook until it starts to soften. Then, add the olives and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the anchovy fillets and cook everything together for 2-3 minutes. Add the tuna and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add the tomato sauce and a ladle of the water in which we cooked the pasta and mix well. Let it cook and reduce to a low heat for about 7-8 minutes. Then add the chopped parsley and the cooked pasta, mix, and cook together for about 2-3 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper and serve.
