Sea Puttanesca Pasta

Sea Puttanesca Pasta.
A very tasty, complete dish, easy and quick to make, you can use canned tuna or fresh fish, and why not, you can also recycle it from the barbecue the night before.
Yes, I actually created this dish like that, but mostly to get the kids to eat fish by disguising it with the delicious puttanesca sauce.
Traditional recipe and for Bimby.
