Light tuna is usually skipjack and has a fuller flavor than albacore, which is sometimes labeled white tuna.
Either is delicious, so try both and see what you like best.
Look for cans labeledpole-and-line caught.

Its the most sustainable way to catch tuna, as it preserves the surrounding marine life.
Another variable in canned tuna is what is included in the can.
Canned tuna packed in oil is richer in flavor compared to those packed in water.
Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe
Some canned tuna includes only tuna and salt, which is also a great option.
Then toss the pasta in the flavorful oil and starchy pasta water to coat it.
Capers and white wine cut the richness of the oil by providing crucial acidity and, thus, balance.
