    By Alisa Fleming on February 26, 2016 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees, Pasta

    Who doesn’t love a lunch or dinner that can be whipped up in 20 minutes or less? In fact, this Italian tuna fettuccine doesn’t take much longer than boiling the pasta!

    20-Minute Italian Tuna Fettuccine with Tomatoes, Capers and Olives - a quick pantry recipe that's dairy-free, gluten-free optional.

    While you can certainly enjoy a plate of this Italian tuna fettuccine made with fresh seasonal tomatoes, when prepared as is, this is a simple, inexpensive pantry recipe. You can even cheat a little more and use canned tomatoes with garlic. And yes, there are a few options for08 diced tomatoes with garlic AND onions.

    Not a fish fan? Swap in leftover cooked chicken, or try out my fishless vegetarian suggestions below.

    Serves: 2
    Ingredients
    • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta (gluten-free, if needed)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
    • 2 teaspoons capers
    • 1 5-ounce can tuna, packed in oil, drained
    • 1 2.2-ounce can sliced ripe olives, drained
    • Salt, to taste
    • Ground black pepper, to taste

    3. Add the diced tomatoes and capers and simmer for 5 minutes.

    5. Toss the fettuccine with the tuna mixture until well-coated, adding the reserved cooking liquid as needed.
