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