Instructions

• Instructions

  1-Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

• 2-Sauté Garlic and Onion: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

• 3-Add Tomatoes: Stir in the canned tomatoes and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

• 4-Add Tuna: Add the drained tuna to the tomato sauce, breaking it up with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the tuna to heat through and absorb some of the sauce flavors.

• 5-Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked penne to the skillet with the tuna and tomato sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.

• 6-Garnish and Serve: Stir in the fresh basil and remove from heat. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
