Pasta with Tuna in Roasted Pepper Sauce
7 ounce jar roasted red peppers, with liquid
2 flat anchovies
2 large cloves garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
7 ounces canned tuna, drained and flaked
1 Tablespoon drained capers
Hot pepper flakes, to taste
Place first seven ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
Add in the 1/4 cup olive oil and process just to blend. Transfer to a bowl and add the tuna, capers and hot red pepper flakes.
Cook 1 lb. of pasta, drain and immediately toss with the sauce. Serve on hot plates.
Servings: 4
Notes: I like to garnish with a little shaved parm and fresh basil.

This recipe was written years ago. I can't find 7 oz. cans of tuna, so I use 6 oz, or you could use the new pouches that came out in recent years.
