SERVES 4 TO 6

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup dry white wine
12 ounces 1 (6-ounce) can solid white tuna in water (2 cans), drained well and chunks broken up with fingers
Table salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
1 pound penne pasta or fusilli, cooked until al dente and drained, 1/4 cup pasta cooking water reserved
Ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat oil, 1 tablespoon garlic, red pepper flakes, and capers in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and sizzling but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine and bring to simmer; simmer until aroma bears no trace of alcohol, about 1 minute. Add tuna and 2 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring frequently, until tuna is heated through, about 1 minute.

2. Toss tuna mixture, remaining garlic, parsley, zest, butter, cooked pasta, and reserved pasta water to coat in warm serving bowl. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste; serve immediately.
