INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 1 (14.6 ounce) package penne pasta

  • Oil & Butter

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 🧈 1 tablespoon butter

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 onion, chopped

  • Canned Food

    • 🐟 3 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked

  • Dairy

    • 🥛 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 🧀 1 ¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese

  • Seasonings

    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an oven-proof baking dish.

2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and toss pasta with olive oil.

3

While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Add tuna and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream; season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Add penne and toss well.

5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with Parmesan cheese and bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
