1/4 cup chopped onion |
1/3 cup olive oil |

4 anchovies, finely chopped |
1 small red and yellow bell pepper, finely julienned |

2 tablespoons capers |
two 6-oz cans tuna fish, packed in oil, drained and crumbled |
salt to taste |
2 tablespoons chopped italian parsley for garnish |
Directions:
1. Boil pasta until al dente. Saute onions in olive oil for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add hot pepper, anchovies and whisk in until anchovies dissolve into a paste. Add peppers and celery and saute for 5 minutes or until tender but still somewhat crunchy. Stir in capers and tuna and cook just to warm the tuna through.
