For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce while simmering. Fresh basil or oregano can be substituted for dried herbs; use about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for every teaspoon of dried. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the sauce before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

01
StepIn a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
02
StepAdd minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
03
StepStir in drained tuna and chopped tomatoes (with their juices). Cook for about 3 minutes, until heated through and slightly softened.
04
StepGently mix in the halved black olives, dried basil, and dried oregano. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
05
StepPour in the tomato puree, stir well to combine, and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
