How to cook deliciously - Penne with Tuna, Plum Tomatoes, and Black Olives
1. Stage
Bring a large pot of water with 1/2 tablespoon salt to a boil. Drop in pasta; stir it around.
2. Stage
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat; sauté onion or shallot 3 to 4 minutes, until limp. Add garlic and tomatoes and sauté for another minute. Splash in wine and cook down, about 4 minutes. Break up tuna, dropping chunky flakes into the pan. Stir in olives. Add at least 1/4 cup pasta water to the sauce. When pasta is al dente (taste to be sure), use a big strainer-like spoon to transfer it to the pan. Stir to combine, and cook for a minute. Add salt to taste if needed and more pasta water if sauce is too dry. Spoon pasta with sauce into a bowl, and scatter parsley on top.
