Pull out a clove of garlic, an onion, olives, tuna, olive oil, pepper, tomatoes (fresh or canned), and quinoa or whatever GF noodle you have available. If you have capers grab those too! I also just happened to have hearts of palm in my fridge and thought huh - yup, they're going in there.
Now, start your water for your GF noodles. Then start a medium-sized sauce pan at medium heat. Meanwhile (FYI - meanwhile is the secret to cooking- you should always be doing something else while other things are already started), so meanwhile you'll want to get started on the chopping. Start with the garlic, then the onion and cut your olives in half (pieces go better in the sauce than whole, but that's a personal preference.) Now your frying pan should be hot enough to add the oil. When you can smell the aroma of the oil go ahead and add the onion and garlic.
Your water should be close to boiling for the noodles so go ahead and add those as well. MAKE SURE you watch them as GF noodles are finicky. Meanwhile (see how that works!?!?) you'll want to get your can opener for anything you grabbed in a can (like the tomatoes or tuna) and get those opened. Stir your onion mixture and add in the olives, tuna, capers (hearts of palm). Mix together well. Now add the can of tomatoes & stire again. CHECK YOUR NOODLES!
Ok, so turn the tomato mixture to low so it doesn't splash up all over everything (including you)! Now, when you drain the noodles try to save some of the water they were boiling in. Dump the noodles back into the pot and add the tomato sauce mixture. Then add a little bit of the noodle water to loosen the dish up a bit. Stir. Done. Eat. Ta Da! You just made GF/DF Tuna Puttanesca, and I'm guessing that took you less than 30 minutes. Add a good pinch of pepper. The capers & olives should give you enough salt so there is no need to add any more. Enjoy!
