This tuna pasta bake is a great midweek dinner option that’s easy to make yet oh-so flavorsome, creamy, and delicious. Add veggies like peas, baby spinach, or saut?ed mushrooms, if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 (14.6 ounce) package penne pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an oven-proof baking dish.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and toss pasta with olive oil.
Step 3
While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tuna and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream; season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add penne and toss well. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with Parmesan cheese.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

You can use any small, shaped pasta.
