Ingredients

250 g dry spaghetti pasta
160 g canned tuna in its own juice
30 g capers
35 g shallot
240 g cherry tomatoes
60 g anchovy fillets in oil
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
30 g grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
40 g table salt

Instructions

1
Cook the spaghetti al dente in plenty of salted water (with 40 g of salt). Before draining, set aside 100 ml of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
2
Prepare the other ingredients: peel and thinly slice the garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the shallots and anchovy fillets.
3
Pour the olive oil into a cold pan, add the garlic, shallots, and chopped anchovies. Heat to medium temperature and sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Then pour in the reserved cooking water and remove the pan from the heat.
4
Add the thyme, capers, and drained tuna to the sauce, then mix thoroughly. Fold in the cooked pasta and grated Parmesan cheese. Finally, add the halved tomatoes and lemon juice, then gently mix everything once more. Serve warm.

Tip

The pasta cooking water helps the sauce become silkier and adhere better to the spaghetti.

If you like it spicy, you can add a little chili flakes to the base along with the garlic.
