Ready In
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup cooking water.
- Heat olive oil in medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion until it starts turning translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tuna, garlic, cayenne pepper, capers, and olive slices. Cook 3 to 4 minutes longer.
- Stir in tomatoes, herbes de Provence, and anchovy paste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add Barilla(R) Traditional pasta sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 minutes. If sauce seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of reserved pasta cooking water. Serve over pasta.

Delicious, classic recipe. I used whole anchovies instead of the paste and left out the capers because the kids don't care for them. This was easy to make and get on the table for a bunch of hun...
