This comes from one of my Food and Wine cookbooks and uses ingredients I usually have on hand. The wine recommendation is to serve this with a robust French rose from the southern Rhone.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
3/4 teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
1/4 cup green olives, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
3/4 lb linguine
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
1. In a medium frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat.
2. Add the garlic, sage and rosemary and stir until the garlic just starts to brown, 2-3 minutes.
3. Stir in the orange zest, capers, olives, salt, pepper and tuna. Remove from heat; stir in the vinegar.
4. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguini until just done, about 12 minutes.
5. Drain the pasta and toss with the tuna sauce and parsley.
