SPAGHETTI WITH TUNA, MINT AND CAPERS.

Steps:

• Put the water onto boil for the pasta, add salt once the water starts boiling.
• Rinse the capers under cold running water to remove the salt.
• Then put the capers, the mint and drained tuna into a food processor or blender ( I used a hand held mixer)
• Add the olive oil, the juice from the lemon, plus some grated lemon rind and season with freshly ground pepper.
• Cook the pasta al dente in the boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet.
• When the pasta is almost cooked remove a cup of the cooking water. Add half of this water to the ingredients for the dressing and pulse a few times until you have a rough sauce. (you don't want it to be too smooth)
• Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it and return it to the pan with the dressing.
• Add the rest of the saved pasta cooking water and mix everything together until the sauce starts to look creamy.
• Serve immediately with a few whole capers and a bit of mint sprinkled on top.Buon Appetito!
