Pasta with Tuna & Olives
Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta, following the package instructions. Reserve one cup of pasta water before draining. Meanwhile, in a large pasta bowl, gently break apart the tuna fillets in olive oil.
2. In a small frying pan or saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and anchovy extract, and cook, stirring, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the tuna. Add the parsley and mix until well combined.
3. Add the Mediterranean pasta sauce to the pan and heat through. Season to taste with salt, black pepper.
4. Add the drained pasta to the bowl with the tuna, along with 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water. Pour in the sauce and Ligurian Taggiasca olives, then toss until everything is evenly coated.
5. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, freshly ground black pepper, and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese before serving.
