Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan and cook the spaghetti for 10 - 12 minutes. Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and set aside. 
  • Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Deseed and finely chop the red chili pepper.*
  • Slice the Romano pepper into thin strips.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Fry the vegetables
2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the Romano pepper and onion for 2 - 3 minutes. 
  • In the meantime, roughly chop the olives and dice the tomato. 
  • Add the sugar to the pan and deglaze with the white wine vinegar.
  • Add the olives, red chili pepper, Sicilian-style herb mix and garlic and fry for 1 minute.
Make the sauce
3
  • Add the diced tomato and passata to the pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 6 - 8 minutes. 
  • In the meantime, heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat the capers dry with kitchen paper and fry them for 2 - 3 minutes, or until crunchy.
  • Remove them from the pan and set aside on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
  • Chop the parsley.
Serve
4
  • Drain the tuna and add it to the sauce, along with half of the parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat. Add a splash of pasta water as necessary if the sauce seems too dry.
  • Serve the spaghetti on deep plates and top with the capers. Garnish with the rest of the parsley. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
