by:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 pound vine-ripe tomatoes, cut into a small dice
  • Salt
  • 12 ounces bite-sized pasta, such as penne
  • 2 cans (5 ounces each) tuna packed in oil, not drained
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup capers
  • 4 ounces ( about 1 cup) crumbled feta, plus extra for passing
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. Prepare tomatoes and transfer to a medium bowl; sprinkle lightly with salt.
  2. Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts of water and a generous sprinkling of salt to boil in a large soup kettle. Add pasta and, using back-of-the-box times as a guide, cook partially covered and stirring frequently at first to prevent sticking, until just tender. Drain and return to pot.
  3. Add tuna, garlic, oregano, capers, feta, and parsley to tomatoes; toss to coat. Add tomato sauce to pasta; toss to coat again. Serve, sprinkling each portion with additional feta.
