A flavorful and easy-to-make pasta dish featuring tuna, tomatoes, and Mediterranean-inspired ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor of the sauce.
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the crushed tomatoes and dried oregano to the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer gently to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the tuna, olives, and capers. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Break up the tuna into smaller pieces for even distribution.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Drain the spaghetti and mix it with the hot tuna-tomato sauce.
Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Serve the pasta topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
