- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 50g kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
#### Instructions:
##### Step 1: Prepare the Pasta
1. **Boil Water**: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
2. **Cook Pasta**: Add a pinch of salt and cook angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain in a colander, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
##### Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
1. **Heat Olive Oil**: In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
2. **Add Garlic and Onion**: Add minced garlic and chopped onions to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes or until they become soft and lightly golden.
##### Step 3: Add Tuna and Tomatoes
1. **Incorporate Tuna**: Add the drained tuna (with some of its olive oil) into the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon.
2. **Stir in Tomatoes**: Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir well to combine with the other ingredients.
##### Step 4: Season and Thicken
1. **Season**: Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
2. **Thickening**: If the sauce seems too thin, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water, then stir it into the sauce until it thickens.
##### Step 5: Combine Pasta and Sauce
1. **Combine Ingredients**: Return the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet with the sauce.
2. **Toss Well**: Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the tomato tuna and olive sauce. If needed, add some reserved pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency.
##### Step 6: Garnish
1. **Add Fresh Herbs**: Top the dish with torn fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
2. **Serve Hot**: Serve hot immediately while still fresh and flavorful.
