Foodtopia Moments

One of the easiest meals of the summer was today's pranzo (lunch). Tonno e caperi (tuna and capers) in a tomato sauce is a classic Italian dish. It's fast to make, doesn't break any budget, and tastes amazing. You start by opening and draining a can of tuna. Here in Italy I use tuna in oil because it's tougher to find tuna in water. In America I use tuna in water. Either one works fine. Put some olive oil in a small pot, throw in the tuna and cook it over medium high heat. After a few minutes, add a drained bottle of small capers. After about five minutes, add a bottle or can of crushed tomatoes, and some water. Then a
dd a few sprinkles of salt, and let it cook down while you heat the water and cook the spaghetti. It'll splatter, so lower the heat once it starts to boil. Make this easy pasta dish and you'll have people definitely asking for seconds.
