This vibrant tuna, tomato and caper spaghetti is a wonderful example of how simple, high-quality ingredients can create a sophisticated meal. By marinating the sun-ripened tomatoes with salty anchovies, garlic, and olive oil, you create a deep, savoury base that perfectly complements the flaked white tuna. The addition of fresh basil provides a peppery finish that elevates the entire dish, making it a bright and refreshing choice for a midweek dinner.
As a high-protein pasta dish, it is both satisfying and nutritious, offering a lighter alternative to heavy meat-based sauces. The recipe relies on store-cupboard staples like tinned tuna and capers, making it an easy homemade option when you want maximum flavour with minimal cooking time. Serve it in large bowls for a relaxed family meal or a casual dinner with friends.
