    Ingredients

    • 500g Penne pasta
    • 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 small onion, chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes in juice
    • 1-1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon capers, drained (optional)
    • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 2 cans (5 ounces each) water-packed tuna, drained

    Directions

    1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan.
    2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes until onion becomes translucent, stirring constantly (watch carefully so garlic does not burn). Stir in tomatoes with juice, parsley, lemon juice and capers. Cook 1 minute; add red pepper flakes to taste.
    3. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 3 to 5 minutes to thicken sauce, stirring frequently. Gently stir in tuna; heat through.
    4. Add pasta to sauce. Stir gently to coat.
