🥗Healthier: canned tuna

💰Cheaper: canned sardines

Canned tuna offers a lighter option while sardines provide a similar flavor at a lower cost.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet.

Boil water with salt in a pot for the spaghetti.

Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 of a red pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring the garlic doesn't brown.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of rinsed and drained capers to the skillet and mix well.

Add 1 can of peeled tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano to the skillet, along with a pinch of salt, and stir well.

Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the water is boiling, add 160 grams of spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 7 to 8 minutes, following package instructions.

After 15 minutes, add 40 grams of pitted black olives to the sauce and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Reserve some pasta cooking water before draining the spaghetti.

Add the drained spaghetti to the sauce, mixing well to incorporate, and add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too dry.

Let the spaghetti cook in the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to ensure the sauce adheres to the pasta.
