Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil (can use drained from can or your own)

  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Drain oil from cans of tuna into a small bowl and set aside if using or discard. Place the tuna into a medium-sized bowl and flake with a fork.

Add the onion and cook, stirring ocassionally until they have begun to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tuna and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and parsley. Add the wine, and cook, stirring gently for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and let cook for another 3 minutes. 
    Drain the pasta well, then add it to the skillet and gently mix until well combined. Top with additional fresh parsley if desired.
