Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ⅔ ounces tuna packed in olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more as needed
3 cups cream of tomato soup, not from concentrate
½ cup water
14 ½ ounces dry penne pasta
⅔ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, for garnish
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Combine tuna and olive oil, garlic, anchovy paste, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and cook for 1 minute once oil begins to sizzle.
  • Stir in cream of tomato soup and water. Increase heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne, and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just slightly undercooked, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Stir cooked pasta into soup mixture; stir in 2/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and tarragon. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and cook for an additional minute.
  • Garnish with additional Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and red pepper flakes.

This recipe is a great base for a tuna pasta dish. I like to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this pasta dish. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the tuna added a nice protein boost.

Overall, this was a good recipe. It was easy to make and the flavor was good. However, I would probably add some more vegetables next time.

The sauce was too runny for my liking. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or some fresh herbs.

I made this pasta last night and it was delicious! I used whole wheat penne and added some chopped spinach to the sauce. It was a quick and easy meal that was perfect for a weeknight.
