Food for Thought: Deliciously Simple, Tuna

Last night I wanted a simple, no fuss (meaning minimal cooking) dinner since it was another gloriously hot August day. And I wanted tuna, Mediterranean tuna. My Mediterranean tuna usually finds itself between two pieces of sourdough in the form of a panini, but last night it was accompanied by pasta. The only cooking involved is the pasta and also a little olive oil to slowly saute the garlic. In a bowl combine a can of tuna (Trader Joe's Tuna in Olive Oil is my favorite), capers, kalamata olives, and quartered grape tomatoes. Once the pasta has cooked, add it and the "garlic oil" to the tuna mixture along with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Toss together and voila, deliciously simple.

Enjoy!
