Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz bow tie (farfalle) pasta
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 5-oz cans canned tuna, drained
- 1 14-oz can artichoke hearts, quartered
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bow tie pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add the drained tuna to the skillet and break it up into chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook for 1 minute to warm through.
Stir in the quartered artichoke hearts, lemon juice, and capers. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Stir in the chopped parsley and cook for 1-2 minutes until the pasta is warmed through.
Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
