Ingredients

225g dry (450g cooked) Wholegrain Pasta — Reserve a cup of the water — it is what makes the sauce cling.
2 tins, drained (190g) Canned Tuna — Forked through at the end. Simmered, it goes dry and grainy.
1 tin (400g) Tomatoes — Reduced for fifteen minutes so it stops tasting tinned.
a handful, halved (60g) Olives — Brine and monounsaturated fat.
1 tbsp (20g) Capers — The sharp note the dish is built around. Rinse them if sodium matters to you.
