Tori Hunt

2 5-ounce cans of albacore tuna (preferably packed in olive oil), drained*

1 tomato, cored, cut in half crosswise and squeezed of excess juice, chopped (about 1 cup)

¼ cup pitted, kalamata olives, coarsely chopped

¼ cup chopped red onion

2 Tbsp chopped parsley

1 Tbsp capers, coarsely chopped

2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (more if you are using tuna packed in water)

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

¾ pound fusilli pasta, dry

1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

note: If you are using a good quality brand of canned tuna, packed in good quality olive oil, there is no need to drain. The oil is highly flavored. If you question the quality of the olive oil, drain it, and add back the same amount of your own good quality olive oil (about 2 Tbsp, listed in the ingredients).
