Guy's spaghetti with tuna, tomatoes and capers
My girlfriend Claire and I ate this dish in a restaurant in Venice last year, so had a go at recreating it. It's completely delicious and pretty cheap and easy to prepare. Make sure you drink the leftover cooking wine with your meal!
Serves 2 Time: about 20 minutes Cost: about £1.25 a head 6 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped Handful of chopped parsley 3 tbsp capers, rinsed 10 cherry tomatoes, halved 200 ml white wine 300 g tinned or fresh tuna Salt Pepper 300g spaghetti 1) Heat oil in saucepan and add onion and garlic.
