Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Start by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat a large drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add anchovies to the skillet. Break them apart with a spoon and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Add minced garlic and hot pepper (if using), and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the capers, green olives, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add the drained tuna fish and break apart with a spoon. Season with black pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, along with a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
