I got this recipe from the Dr. Oz show and i think this is just AMAZING

I love pasta and now that i can make it with a healthy sauce, I'm the happiest woman alive!

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
2 tbsp capers

1/2 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
3 mashed garlic cloves
2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, minced
1 lb dried pasta
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1 package/can of healthy pouch/canned tuna (low-mercury type)



Directions

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, olive oil, red pepper flakes, capers, olives, garlic and basil. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Add the tuna to the mix. Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling water until al dente. Drain well. Toss the hot pasta with the tomato mixture. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
