    • Cut tomatoes in halves
    • Finely chop capers
  3. Get a medium frying pen and add 1.5 tbsp of olive oil, minced garlic and let the garlic golden up,be careful not to let it go brown.
  4. Add capers, anchovies and tomatoes (with cut side down, press down the tomatoes with a spoon to allow for better cooking). Let anchovies dissolve (break them down as they cook with a spoon and yes, they'll pretty much dissolve), also let tomatoes to cook completely. Add some boiling water if needed to avoid sticking and drying up.
  5. Add the tuna and break it into small chunks

  7. When the pasta is at the right al-dente state, add the rest of the oil take it off and serve.
