Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups elbow macaroni
1 (7 oz) jar roasted red peppers, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 (6 1/2 oz) can tuna in oil, drained
1 tbsp brine cured black olives, pitted and chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente.
Meanwhile, puree the red peppers in a food processor until smooth.
Heat the oil in a wide saucepan; sauté the onion until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add the red pepper puree and the heavy cream; heat to a simmer over low heat.
Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tuna.
Toss with hot pasta before serving.
Serve with grated cheese.
