2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

½ tsp Flor de Sal organic salt

1 can Ortiz Bonito del Norte tuna in olive oil, drained

3 tbsp non-pareil capers, rinsed and soaked

½ jar black or green olives

220 g pasta

1 onion, finely chopped

¼ tsp chilli flakes

generous grind of black pepper

½ glass dry white wine (Aloers)

1 lemon, juice & zest

3 tbsp parsley, chopped

Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water.

In a medium saucepan, gently sauté the onion, garlic and chilli in olive oil for 5 minutes, until the onion has softened. Add the salt and a grind of black pepper, pour in the wine and reduce for 3 minutes.

Stir in the tuna, lemon juice and zest, capers, half of the parsley, the olives and the reserved pasta water. Gently simmer until warmed through and thickened. Add the cooked pasta, check the seasoning and serve with the remaining parsley.
