Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Red onion, diced
- 10 ounces Canned tuna, drained
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced red onion and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the drained tuna, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook briefly for about 2 minutes to heat through.
Pour in the heavy cream and gluten-free chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve the creamy tuna pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
