Ingredients

• 1 lb. linguine or other long pasta
• Kosher salt
• 1 (14-oz.) can diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1/4 cup capers, drained
• 6 oil-packed anchovy fillets
• 1 Tbsp. tomato paste
• 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
• 2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 6 oz. oil-packed tuna

Instructions

1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid; return pasta to pot.
2. While pasta cooks, pour tomatoes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. Shake to release as much juice as possible, then let tomatoes drain in sieve, collecting juices in bowl, until ready to use.
3. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Add capers and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until they burst and are crisp, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer capers to a paper towel–lined plate, reserving oil in skillet.
4. Combine anchovies, tomato paste, and drained tomatoes in skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to caramelize and anchovies start to break down, about 5 minutes. Add collected tomato juices, olives, oregano, and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add pasta, remaining 1/4 cup oil, and 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid to pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring and adding remaining 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid to loosen if needed, until sauce is thickened and emulsified, about 2 minutes. Flake tuna into pasta and toss to combine.
5. Divide pasta among plates. Top with fried capers.
