One Pot Pasta Thon

A quick and easy one pot pasta recipe featuring tuna, perfect for a delicious and hearty meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

12 ounces dried spaghetti
1 can (5 ounces) tuna in olive oil, drained
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
4 cups water
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, water, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the dried spaghetti, pressing it down gently so it is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the drained tuna gently to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
