Steps:
- Cook penne, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. In a medium skillet, saute capers and lemon zest in olive oil, 1 minute. Add tuna and cook until heated through. Add penne, pasta water, and lemon juice. Season, and stir in basil.
PASTA WITH TUNA, TOMATOES, GARLIC, CAPERS, AND OLIVES
Steps:
- Cook pasta in large pot of rapidly boiling water until al dente or done to your liking.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Place olive oil and the garlic in a large saute pan and turn heat to medium. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Add capers, anchovies, olives, and tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and become a sauce, about 8 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta. Add parsley and tuna and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON
This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

PASTA WITH TUNA, CAPERS AND SCALLIONS
There are about a gazillion ways to cook pasta using other pantry staples - things like garlic, bread crumbs, pecorino, capers, olives and especially, canned fish. This recipe, pasta with tuna, anchovies and capers, showered with lots of green herbs and scallions, is one of my family's household favorites. I like it with a long, thin, twirlable pasta - spaghetti, linguine or bucatini - but you can use whatever pasta you have on hand. Even macaroni works just fine and might even persuade your finicky kid to eat this dish (though, so far, mine abstains).

Steps:
- In a well-salted pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, saving 1 cup pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add garlic and scallion whites, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and capers and cook until anchovies melt and capers and garlic turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add 1/2 cup pasta water, let it reduce until there is just a little left in the pan, then add pasta and herbs and toss well to coat. Add tuna and toss well.
- Serve with red-pepper flakes on top, more herbs, scallion greens, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and fry gently for 7 mins or until softened and turning translucent. Add 350g of the tomatoes, the pasta and veg stock to the pan and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 mins, uncovered, stirring occasionally.

Gently fold through large flakes of tuna, the mascarpone, parmesan, capers, lemon zest and parsley as well as salt and a generous grind of black pepper.

TUNA, LEMON, BASIL, AND CAPER PASTA SALAD
Steps:
- Boil the pasta in big pot of water with the red wine vinegar (gives the pasta a bit of a bite). Cook until al dente. When the pasta has about 2 minutes of boiling time left, toss the green beans in to blanch them. Drain together. To make the dressing- smash the garlic through a garlic press, or use the back of a knife and a bit of coarse salt to mash the garlic into a paste. In a small bowl, mix the garlic with some salt and pepper. Drain the olive oil from the can of tuna to make a garlic puree. Squeeze the whole lemon into the puree, and add the salt and pepper to taste. Add a bit of extra olive oil if dressing is thick. When all is prepaired, stir together the pasta and green beans, the dressing, tuna, capers, parsley, and basil. Toss it all together with the butter lettuce, and enjoy!
