Once the pasta is done, scoop out about 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain the pasta and add it to the skillet along with some fresh chopped parsley and some parmesan cheese. Pour in the pasta water and toss it all together…the pasta water will combine with the rest of it to make a lovely, delicate sauce. Scoop it onto your favorite plates, sprinkle with a little more cheese and some fresh lemon juice. And just like that ~ you’re done! All in just a little more time than it would take you to make a tuna fish sandwich.
Now light some candles, pour yourself a glass of wine, and try to remember why you thought it was one of those days. It’s going to be a lovely evening!

Pasta is often the only thing that can make a crazy day better, This looks like total comfort food to me!
Right? Pasta is the cure for whatever life throws your way.
I think that this sounds delicious and easy! Is the tuna packed in water or oil? Thanks!
You can do it with either – personally, I think oil-packed tuna has more flavor. But either way will work!
I have got to remember when I’m at the grocery store to get some sundried tomatoes. I will definately try this one. With my health problems, I certainly need quick and easy.
Hope you are feeling better soon!
Would you like to know my personal version of pasta with tuna? Just break tuna (oil-packed of course….as you say, much more flavour!) in a bowl, add lots of BASIL leaves (split into pieces by hand, never use a knife with basil!) and some capers, olive oil, mix…and that’s all. It’s a “cold” sauce, no cooking involved, so it’s more a typical summer recipe, nonetheless it can be of much help when you have little spare time to prepare your meal. I’ll try your version, sun-dried tomatoes + tuna really inspires me!
Sounds like heaven ~ I will be trying yours too!
Looks delicious. I’m partial to kalamata olives though and would use those instead of the sun dried tomatoes. The saltiness compliments tuna/pasta pretty well.
Hi Dan! I’m not an olive fan, but I think for folks who are, this is a fabulous idea.
