• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 2 large cloves garlic

• 6 small scallions (or three large ones)

• 1 5 oz. can tuna fish, drained

• two tablespoons capers

• 3/4 cup pasta water, more or less

• freshly minced chives and parsley

• a sprinkle of red pepper flakes

• 1/2 pound spaghetti or linguini

Instructions

1. Place the oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and scallions.

2. Meanwhile, start cooking the pasta.

3. Sauté until soft, then add the tuna, breaking it up with a fork.

4. Add the capers, red pepper flakes, half the herbs and about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

5. Finish cooking the pasta until almost al dente and add the drained pasta nto the pan with the tuna.

6. It’s fine if a little water comes with the pasta since you’ll want to add more water anyway.

7. Add some of the pasta water and swish the pasta thoroughly through the sauce, adding more water if necessary to finish cooking the pasta.

8. Add the other half of the herbs and serve immediately.
