CANNED TUNA PASTA
In my case, I cooked my pasta in the instant pot pressure cooker for 4 minutes on high pressure.
While the pasta cooks, you can chop the garlic and onions. If you still need to do so, drain the tuna. After the pasta has been cooked, drain it and reserve some of the pasta water.
Add olive oil to a pan and heat it until hot. Add the onions and saute them for 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and continue sautéing until fragrant.
Reduce the heat, add the red pepper flakes, and stir together.
Then add the pasta water and cream cheese to the aromatics. Mix well.
Add the tuna, drain, and mix into the pasta. Stir gently so that the fish does not break. Add some parsley and stir it into the pasta. Remove the pasta from the heat.
TIPS
Add some spinach for color and to make the dish healthier. This recipe was made without any spinach.
My family does not like capers, but I do. If capers are your thing, then add them to this dish. So good.
You can adjust the red pepper flakes according to your taste or make them hotter.
If desired, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
If desired, you can bake your tuna pasta. Make sure to add some sauce before baking the dish so that it does not come out dry.
Use gluten-free pasta to make this recipe gluten-free.
HOW to STORE
This recipe will stay fresh for up to five days in the refrigerator in an airtight jar at the correct temperature.
The pasta can be stored in the freezer for three months. Make sure it is completely cooled down before you keep it.
