Pasta Sauce With Tuna, Capers and Olives image

I was hungry, and this was in the pantry. I was well pleased with the results. This is healthy, light and easy. I would have added 1 T of fresh basil and/or oregano if it had been on hand. Be careful to just heat the tuna, not to cook it or the texture will become tough. I used Kirkland solid white tuna (my favorite) but would have used Italian solid light tuna or tonno packed in olive oil if I had had it

I added a few extra ingredients to this sauce, like some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a pinch of red pepper flakes. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this sauce. The capers and olives add a lot of flavor.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them for.
