Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 slices fresh bread, processed into crumbs in your food processor
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
  • 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 cup capers (or more if you like capers!)
  • 1 seven ounce can or jar of oil-packed tuna, drained and lightly crumbled (you want some good size pieces)
  • Juice from one lemon

Instruction

  • Make bread crumbs by heating 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add fresh crumbs with a pinch of salt and a couple grindings of fresh pepper. Stir until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions in salted water. Reserve 1 cup of water and drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining oil in a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Cook the onions until softened, about 10 minutes. Add cherry tomato halves and cook another 5 minutes or so until softened.
  • Add cheese and stir, and then drizzle in just enough pasta water to form a light sauce (you might not need all of it). Add pasta, capers and tuna and toss until everything is combined and heated through.
  • Divide pasta among plates, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, garnish with bread crumbs and serve.
