By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 1 lb dried linguine
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup frozen chopped onions (from a 12-oz bag) such as Ore Ida brand
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped (1 tablespoon)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 (6-oz) cans tuna in olive oil, drained
• 1/3 cup drained bottled capers (packed in brine; from a 3-oz jar)
• 3/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta and return to pot.
While pasta cooks, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions and garlic with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in tuna, capers, raisins, parsley, and reserved cooking water. Add tuna mixture to pasta, tossing to combine, and serve immediately.



Cooks' note:

To save time, you can use pre-peeled garlic cloves, which many markets now sell.
