    • 1/2 cup lemon juice.


    Instructions


    1. Cook pasta until al dente, drain and refresh.
    2. Heat oil in frypan, add capers and saute for 1 minute until just crisp (could add a 1/2 a red onion finely chopped here if you wanted to). Drain on kitchen paper.
    3. Combine pasta, tuna,capers, olives, parsley and lemon juice in a large bowl and toss gently.

    Can be prepared several hours ahead and stored covered in refrigerator. Can add halved cherry tomatoes or grated carrot if desired
