Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 medium garlic minced, cloves
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes this doesn’t add spice – just a nice enhancement of flavor
  • ¾ cup chicken stock or broth
  • 2 cans cans (6-ounces each) white tuna drained well, solid, in water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped fresh leaves
  • 1 tablespoon butter cut into fourths
  • 1 bunch asparagus tough ends trimmed and stalks cut into thirds, lightly steamed (I steamed mine for 3-4 minutes until just barely crisp tender, bunch
  • 1 pound penne pasta or other similar tube pasta

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions (or however you like it).
  2. Meanwhile, in a 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant (but not browned!), about 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add tuna, slightly breaking up chunks with your fingers, and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until tuna is heated through, about 1 minute.
  4. Toss tuna mixture, parsley, butter, asparagus (or other vegetable), and cooked pasta together in the skillet. Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
