Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 2
Heat oil over low heat in a large skillet. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, capers, lemon juice, parsley, and pepper flakes. Simmer gently until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Fold in tuna and cook until heated through.

Step 3
Drain penne and return to the pot. Pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat.

Tips

Use your favorite pasta shape in place of penne if desired.
