Not only does this dish taste splendid, it\u2019s perfect for when you are simply hungry and are craving something satisfying but don\u2019t have the time (or energy) to cook! Other than preparing the pasta, there is no cooking involved in this dish. It\u2019s a simple pesto that can be pulled together in minutes.<\/p>\n

For those of you that like canned tuna with pasta and the idea of cooking a quick dinner for two, this dish is a must try this. Here\u2019s a little secret: you can be extra lazy this weekend (and selfish) and make a batch of the tuna-caper pesto and eat one half of it for lunch and the rest for dinner \u2014 all \u2014 by \u2014 yourself. Yay ME!<\/p>\n

\"Sommer-Tomaten<\/a>

For a little extra summer freshness, just add a handful of chopped up sweet cherry tomatoes after you have tossed the pasta with the pesto mix. There are so many varieties and colors (!) of cherry-like tomatoes available at the farmers market this time of year \u2014 love it! The Rindermarkthalle in Hamburg St. Pauli (also a famous soccer team) also has an amazing selection. I find it hard not to add them to every summer dish I make!<\/p>\n

This dish is also fabulous topped with something green. In the summer months, when my salad cravings are at an all-time high, I love to top my pasta off with a generous handful of tender baby arugula leaves. So healthy, fresh and delicious!<\/p>\n

Regarding tuna packed in brine, I\u2019ve tried it and believe me, you need to use tuna packed in olive oil. It\u2019s moister and tastes better. And even though I buy olive oil packed tuna, I drain it as I have my own favorite olive oils and\u2026well\u2026I\u2019m convinced that not all olive oil is created equal, so I like to supplement it with my own special choice. But I\u2019ll leave that one up to you to decide.<\/p>\n
