Notes

Aeolian pasta is a preparation more than an actual recipe. The tuna for example is not essential. Or can be substituted by canned tuna.Capers instead are fundamental in this dish. The Aeolian island grow one of the finest capers in the world. We prefer salted capers over brined ones. In either case, rinse them thoroughly.Regarding the olives, make sure to take the stones out. What shall we drink with this delicious dish? An orange wine by Di Giovanna, Camurria. Sicilian all the way.
