Ingredients

  • 2 cups farfalle (bow tie) pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces chunk light tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup coarsely torn fresh basil

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Step 3
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4
Add tuna, water, cranberries, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts, and parsley. Stir in cooked pasta.

Step 5
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, covered, for 25 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, until heated through and cheese melted, about 5 more minutes.

Step 6
Sprinkle with basil before serving.
