Easy Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce

Easy Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce
  • 1/2 (16 ounce) box penne
  • 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, packed in olive oil, drained
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 large organic lemon, juiced and zested
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ounce canned anchovy fillets, drained
  • 2 teaspoons capers
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped


  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  2. Empty tuna into a bowl and mash with a fork while pasta is cooking. Mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil, basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and fry the anchovies for 3 minutes. Add capers and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 3 minutes. Add tuna mixture and tomatoes; simmer sauce for about 5 minutes.
  4. Drain pasta and add to the sauce. Mix well. Stir in parsley before serving.
