Method

  1. 1

    Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and fry gently for 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers. Simmer for 8 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

  4. 4

    Flake in the tuna and stir gently so it warms through without breaking up too much.

  5. 5

    Add the drained spaghetti, toss everything together with a splash of pasta water, and serve immediately.
