• 3/4 lb. spaghetti
• 4 T. extra virgin olive oil
• zest and juice of 1 large lemon
• 2 - 5 oz. cans good quality tuna, drained
• large handful of fresh dill fronds, chopped
• 1/2 small red onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
• 1/2 c. Greek olives, pitted
• 1/2 t. red pepper flakes, or to taste
• freshly ground black pepper

Steps

1. Cook the pasta in well salted boiling water according to the package directions, just until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. (taste test the pasta 2 minutes before the cooking time on the package)
2. While the pasta is cooking, add the remaining ingredients to a large skillet. Break up the drained tuna with a fork into large chunks. Heat gently on medium heat on the stovetop until everything is hot.
3. Drain the spaghetti; add to the skillet. Toss well, adding a little more oil, if needed.
