Dr Weil's "Cancer- fighting" pasta puttanesca

This was on Dr Oz one day; Dr Andrew Weil suggested eating this once a week to prevent cancer. Very easy to make & tasty. It has become our Friday night stand- by. 

2 cans diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup chopped black olives
2 tsp capers
2 Tbsp. fresh, minced basil
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes


1 pound spaghetti
1 can or pouch of tuna
Parmesan cheese

Mix first 7 ingredients in bowl. Let set for 1 hour at room temperature. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Toss sauce, pasta, & tuna. Top with Parmesan cheese.

(I omit the capers because of the cost, & add 1 can mushrooms and personally like the sauce served hot)
