tuna sauce





I've modified my moms recipe to make it quicker,cheaper and just as tasty.


1 lb. pasta


2 cans tuna packed in olive oil (she uses fresh)


1 tbs. butter


1 tbs. capers


1/2 lemon


1 tsp. minced garlic (I like the refrigerated kind)


salt and pepper to taste





Cook pasta (any shape, I prefer linguine).


In a separate pan melt butter over med. heat, add garlic, capers (slightly crushed, you can use the back of a spoon and a bowl if you don't have a pestle and mortar), undrained tuna, and salt and pepper.


All you really have to do is warm it up. You can keep a lid on it until the pasta is cooked. Drain pasta, pour the sauce over the pasta and squeeze the lemon over it and stir. Hope you like it.
