Pasta w tuna and green olives.
I made this today because I asked my son and DIL what they wanted for lunch--the choice was a chorus.

Our tuna is packed in olive oil so I leave that instead of draining it.

I open the tuna and with a fork squeeze out most of the oil into a pan (if you don't have tuna packed in oil, drain out the water and use EVOO in your saucepan). The oil in the pan is usually a mix of oil and liquid, then I chop green olives and add them to the pan, sprinkle with cayenne pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder. Bring it to a boil for about a minute and then add some of the salty water from the olives. Bring it to a boil again. Turn off the heat and let sit. When cooled a bit add in the tuna and mix well. Tuna is already cooked and I don't like to overcook, but want it warm. When the pasta is al-dente, drain and add the tuna mixture with fresh basil. This is one of the favorites in our home. There was a little left today so I got some--it was good.

As most of you know, I make pasta almost everyday. It is best when eaten immediately--that's the trick. We have lunch at 13:30 (1:30 US), and everybody is present 5 minutes ahead of time, so, I time my pasta to be ready then. The news is on, there's a lot of chatter, and we all eat together. It's the Italian way.

Roasted vegetables with lemon, basil and halloumi.
