Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup sweet pepper, red and yellow, chopped
  • 12 cup black olives, chopped (I like kalamata)
  • 1 (10 ounce) can tuna (just your normal can of tuna)
  • 1 (14 ounce) jar tomato sauce (any old kind of spaghetti sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh basil, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups white wine
  • 14 teaspoon salt (or however much you want, as to taste)
  • 14 teaspoon black pepper
  • 18 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Saute the onion in olive oil over medium heat until transluscent.
  2. 2
    Add in the garlic, peppers and olives, saute for 5 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add in tuna, then stir in the tomato sauce, herbs and white wine *Do not add salt to taste at this point*.
  4. 4
    Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and leave sauce to reduce, stirring occasionally (takes around 30 minutes, depending on the heat level).
  5. 5
    Once sauce has reduced to the texture you prefer, add seasonings.
  6. 6
    Stir in freshly boiled pasta, incorporate thoroughly, and serve.
  7. 7
    *I think if I had them, I would have added capers for another flavor dimension, but it's fine without.
