Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) box Barilla® Spaghetti
• 1 (24 ounce) jar Barilla® Traditional Sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ onion, chopped
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped
• ¼ cup sliced black olives
• ½ cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
• 1 teaspoon anchovy paste

Cooking Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup cooking water.
2. Heat olive oil in medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion until it starts turning translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tuna, garlic, cayenne pepper, capers, and olive slices. Cook 3 to 4 minutes longer.
3. Stir in tomatoes, herbes de Provence, and anchovy paste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add Barilla® Traditional pasta sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 minutes. If sauce seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of reserved pasta cooking water. Serve over pasta.
