Pasta with tuna, olives, and capers is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that delights with its balance of flavors and aromas. Light and nutritious, this pasta originated as a variation of Mediterranean recipes where tuna, olives, and capers create a harmony of salty, rich tones. Farfalle pasta, known for their playful shape, perfectly holds the oily texture of the tuna complemented by the freshness of parsley. Garlic and olive oil enhance the depth of flavor, making the dish both hearty and elegant. This pasta is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a light festive gathering. It cooks quickly and tastes like a reminder of the warm breezes of the Mediterranean.
